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-2021-25321 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: SUSE Factory. 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-2021-25321/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-25321/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-25321","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-25321/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-25321","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-p5jf-rf9m-p26h","MGASA-2021-0515","SUSE-SU-2021:14759-1","SUSE-SU-2021:2175-1","SUSE-SU-2021:2177-1","UBUNTU-CVE-2021-25321","openSUSE-SU-2021:0945-1","openSUSE-SU-2021:2177-1","openSUSE-SU-2024:10634-1"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux network monitoring","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers with runtime user control can escalate privileges to root via symlink following in arpwatch upon service restart.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"suse","cpe":[{"product":"arpwatch","vendor":"suse"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-61","name":"UNIX Symbolic Link (Symlink) Following"}],"description":"A UNIX Symbolic Link (Symlink) Following vulnerability in arpwatch of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11-SP4-LTSS, SUSE Manager Server 4.0, SUSE OpenStack Cloud Crowbar 9; openSUSE Factory, Leap 15.2 allows local attackers with control of the runtime user to run arpwatch as to escalate to root upon the next restart of arpwatch.
