What is CVE-2021-3139?

CVE-2021-3139 is a high-severity path traversal vulnerability in n/a, published on 13 Jan 2021. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.

Official description

In Open-iSCSI tcmu-runner 1.3.x, 1.4.x, and 1.5.x through 1.5.2, xcopy_locate_udev in tcmur_cmd_handler.c lacks a check for transport-layer restrictions, allowing remote attackers to read or write files via directory traversal in an XCOPY request. For example, an attack can occur over a network if the attacker has access to one iSCSI LUN. NOTE: relative to CVE-2020-28374, this is a similar mistake in a different algorithm.

Weakness: CWE-22
