CVE-2020-17396 (GCVE-0-2020-17396)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2020-08-25 20:20 – Updated: 2024-08-04 13:53
VLAI
Summary
This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of Parallels Desktop 15.1.4. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the prl_hypervisor module. 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 code in the context of the kernel. Was ZDI-CAN-11217.
