It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2010-3853 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: n/a. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2010-3853/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2010-3853/index.md)","id":"CVE-2010-3853","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2010-3853/index.md","name":"CVE-2010-3853","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2010-3853","GHSA-94f7-h6jj-cq78"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux PAM module","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can gain privileges by exploiting environment variable handling in the pam_namespace module when used with setuid programs like sudo.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"linux-pam","vendor":"linux-pam"}],"cvss":{"score":6.9,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"pam_namespace.c in the pam_namespace module in Linux-PAM (aka pam) before 1.1.3 uses the environment of the invoking application or service during execution of the namespace.init script, which might allow local users to gain privileges by running a setuid program that relies on the pam_namespace PAM check, as demonstrated by the sudo program.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-3853","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2010"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":11,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-3854"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-3852"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2011-01-24","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-28321","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-09-19"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Auth bypass in pam","id":"CVE-2020-27780","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-12-17"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-4708","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2011-01-24"},{"cvss_score":6.6,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-0887","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-03-12"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-3238","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-08-24"},{"cvss_score":5.8,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-2583","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-04-10"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local attackers can gain privileges by exploiting environment variable handling in the pam_namespace module when used with setuid programs like sudo.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2010-3853/"}
