Ubuntu Desktop Provision, published on 23 Jul 2024. 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-2024-6714 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Canonical Ltd. Ubuntu Desktop Provision. 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-2024-6714/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-6714/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-6714","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-6714/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-6714","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-x66j-2fj9-7c64","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-6714","USN-6912-1"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Ubuntu Desktop Provision","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker can escalate privileges via a setuid binary in Ubuntu Desktop Provision's provd utility.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"canonical","cpe":[{"product":"ubuntu_desktop_provision","vendor":"canonical"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-73","name":"External Control of File Name or Path"}],"description":"An issue was discovered in provd before version 0.1.5 with a setuid binary, which allows a local attacker to escalate their privilege.","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 Ubuntu Desktop Provision","id":"CVE-2024-6714","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Ditty 3.1.39-3.1.45 - Author+ Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2024-6715"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"PVN Auth Popup \u003c= 1.0.0 - Admin+ Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2024-6713"},"products":["Ubuntu Desktop Provision"],"published":"2024-07-23","related":[{"cvss_score":2.7,"headline":"Senstive information disclosure was affecting ubuntu-desktop-provision","id":"CVE-2025-15480","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-09"}],"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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-01","vendors":["Canonical Ltd."]},"summary":"A local attacker can escalate privileges via a setuid binary in Ubuntu Desktop Provision's provd utility.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-6714/"}
