CVE-2022-41974

device-mapper-multipath: Authorization bypass, multipathd daemon listens for client connections on an abstract Unix socket

Published Oct 29, 2022 CVSS 3.1 · 7.8 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
multipath-tools 0.7.0 through 0.9.x before 0.9.2 allows local users to obtain root access, as exploited alone or in conjunction with CVE-2022-41973. Local users able to write to UNIX domain sockets can bypass access controls and manipulate the multipath setup. This can lead to local privilege escalation to root. This occurs because an attacker can repeat a keyword, which is mishandled because arithmetic ADD is used instead of bitwise OR.
