Descriptions
This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of Parallels Desktop 16.1.2-49151. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target guest system in order to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the Parallels Tools component. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in an integer overflow before allocating a buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of the kernel on the target guest system. Was ZDI-CAN-12790.
Esta vulnerabilidad permite a atacantes locales escalar privilegios en las instalaciones afectadas de Parallels Desktop versión 16.1.2-49151. Un atacante primero debe obtener la capacidad de ejecutar código poco privilegiado en el sistema invitado objetivo para explotar esta vulnerabilidad. El fallo específico se presenta dentro del componente Parallels Tools. El problema es debido a una falta de comprobación apropiada de los datos suministrados por el usuario, lo que puede resultar en un desbordamiento de enteros antes de asignar un búfer. Un atacante puede aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad para escalar privilegios y ejecutar código arbitrario en el contexto del kernel en el sistema invitado objetivo. Fue ZDI-CAN-12790
