VAR-200308-0037

Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-03 22:25

tcptraceroute 1.4 and earlier does not fully drop privileges after obtaining a file descriptor for capturing packets, which may allow local users to gain access to the descriptor via a separate vulnerability in tcptraceroute. This condition is not currently known to be exploitable, however, it could potentially allow for local privilege escalation. tcptraceroute is a traceroute implementation using TCP packets. A local attacker can exploit this vulnerability to potentially execute arbitrary commands on the system with root process privileges. No detailed vulnerability details are currently available
