Descriptions
This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of Parallels Desktop 15.1.5-47309. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute high-privileged code on the target guest system in order to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the IDE virtual device. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length heap-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of the hypervisor. Was ZDI-CAN-13186.
Esta vulnerabilidad permite a atacantes locales escalar privilegios en las instalaciones afectadas de Parallels Desktop versión 15.1.5-47309. Un atacante primero debe obtener la capacidad de ejecutar código muy privilegiado en el sistema invitado objetivo para explotar esta vulnerabilidad. El fallo específico se presenta dentro del dispositivo virtual IDE. El problema es debido a una falta de comprobación apropiada de la longitud de los datos suministrados por el usuario antes de copiarlos en un búfer en la región heap de la memoria de longitud fija. Un atacante puede aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad para escalar privilegios y ejecutar código arbitrario en el contexto del hypervisor. Fue ZDI-CAN-13186
