Descriptions

Netdata is an open source observability tool. In affected versions the `ndsudo` tool shipped with affected versions of the Netdata Agent allows an attacker to run arbitrary programs with root permissions. The `ndsudo` tool is packaged as a `root`-owned executable with the SUID bit set. It only runs a restricted set of external commands, but its search paths are supplied by the `PATH` environment variable. This allows an attacker to control where `ndsudo` looks for these commands, which may be a path the attacker has write access to. This may lead to local privilege escalation. This vulnerability has been addressed in versions 1.45.3 and 1.45.2-169. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.

Netdata es una herramienta de observabilidad de código abierto. En las versiones afectadas, la herramienta `ndsudo` incluida con las versiones afectadas del Netdata Agent permite a un atacante ejecutar programas arbitrarios con permisos de root. La herramienta `ndsudo` está empaquetada como un ejecutable propiedad de `root` con el bit SUID configurado. Solo ejecuta un conjunto restringido de comandos externos, pero sus rutas de búsqueda las proporciona la variable de entorno `PATH`. Esto permite a un atacante controlar dónde busca `ndsudo` estos comandos, que puede ser una ruta a la que el atacante tiene acceso de escritura. Esto puede conducir a una escalada de privilegios locales. Esta vulnerabilidad se ha solucionado en las versiones 1.45.3 y 1.45.2-169. Se recomienda a los usuarios que actualicen. No se conocen workarounds para esta vulnerabilidad.
