Descriptions

danfruehauf NetworkManager-ssh before 1.2.11 allows privilege escalation because extra options are mishandled.

danfruehauf NetworkManager-ssh versiones anteriores a 1.2.11, permite una escalada de privilegios porque las opciones extra son manejadas inapropiadamente.

Kobus van Schoor discovered that network-manager-ssh, a plugin to provide VPN integration for SSH in NetworkManager, is prone to a privilege escalation vulnerability. A local user with privileges to modify a connection can take advantage of this flaw to execute arbitrary commands as root.
