An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2011-2921 exists.\n\nAffected product: ktsuss. 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-2011-2921/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2011-2921/index.md)","id":"CVE-2011-2921","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2011-2921/index.md","name":"CVE-2011-2921","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-gp69-8v27-vccw"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"ktsuss privilege tool","requires_auth":"none","summary":"ktsuss fails to drop root privileges before executing user commands, allowing local attackers to execute arbitrary code with root privileges.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"ktsuss","vendor":"ktsuss_project"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-273","name":"Improper Check for Dropped Privileges"}],"description":"ktsuss versions 1.4 and prior has the uid set to root and does not drop privileges prior to executing user specified commands, which can result in command execution with root privileges.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":2,"first_seen":"2011-08-13","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":1,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2011-08-13","kind":"metasploit","ref":"exploit/linux/local/ktsuss_suid_priv_esc","stars":null,"title":"ktsuss suid Privilege Escalation"},{"date":"2019-09-03","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"47344","stars":null,"title":"ktsuss 1.4 - suid Privilege Escalation (Metasploit)"},{"date":"2019-09-03","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"47344","stars":null,"title":"ktsuss 1.4 - suid Privilege Escalation (Metasploit)"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Privilege escalation in ktsuss","id":"CVE-2011-2921","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2011"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in ktsuss","id":"CVE-2011-2922"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Spacewalk: spacewalk: cross-site scripting vulnerability allows arbitrary web script execution.","id":"CVE-2011-2920"},"products":["ktsuss"],"published":"2019-11-19","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in ktsuss","id":"CVE-2011-2922","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-11-19"}],"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":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"BSD-3-Clause","name":"Metasploit"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["ktsuss"]},"summary":"ktsuss fails to drop root privileges before executing user commands, allowing local attackers to execute arbitrary code with root privileges.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2011-2921/"}
