CVE-2022-37705 | BDVDB-2026-200244 Detail
Description#
A privilege escalation flaw was found in Amanda 3.5.1 in which the backup user can acquire root privileges. The vulnerable component is the runtar SUID program, which is a wrapper to run /usr/bin/tar with specific arguments that are controllable by the attacker. This program mishandles the arguments passed to tar binary (it expects that the argument name and value are separated with a space; however, separating them with an equals sign is also supported),
Impact#
No impact statement in the source data.
Weaknesses#
No weakness recorded in the source data.
