Descriptions

A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the Snapshot functionality of Parallels Desktop for Mac version 20.1.1 (build 55740). When a snapshot of a virtual machine is deleted, a root service verifies and modifies the ownership of the snapshot files. By using a symlink, an attacker can change the ownership of files owned by root to a lower-privilege user, potentially leading to privilege escalation.

Existe una vulnerabilidad de escalada de privilegios en la función de instantáneas de Parallels Desktop para Mac versión 20.1.1 (compilación 55740). Al eliminar una instantánea de una máquina virtual, un servicio root verifica y modifica la propiedad de los archivos de la instantánea. Mediante un enlace simbólico, un atacante puede cambiar la propiedad de los archivos pertenecientes al usuario root a un usuario con menos privilegios, lo que podría provocar una escalada de privilegios.
