Vendor Workaround
To mitigate this issue, implement strict local access controls on systems running `multipathd`. This limits the ability of unprivileged users to interact with the `multipathd` IPC socket, thereby preventing exploitation of the world-writable control socket. Ensure that only trusted administrators have local access to the system.

| Description | A flaw was found in `multipathd`. A local attacker with access to the `multipathd` UNIX control socket can exploit this vulnerability by sending valid commands and then ceasing to read replies. This action can cause the `multipathd` listener thread to block, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) where legitimate Inter-Process Communication (IPC) operations may hang or time out. This issue does not result in privilege escalation, arbitrary code execution, or impact data confidentiality or integrity. | |
