Linux Kernel 2.0 privileges management

CVSS Meta Temp Score
CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.
Current Exploit Price (≈)
Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.
CTI Interest Score
Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

This vulnerability is identified as CVE-2004-0497. Additionally, an exploit exists. You should upgrade the affected component.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in Linux Kernel 2.0 (Operating System). This affects some unknown functionality. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a privileges management vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-269. The product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor. This is going to have an impact on integrity. The summary by CVE is:

unknown vulnerability in linux kernel 2.x may allow local users to modify the group id of files such as nfs exported files in kernel 2.4.

The issue has been introduced in 06/09/1996. The weakness was released 12/06/2004 by LINUX with SuSE (Website). The advisory is shared at xforce.iss.net. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2004-0497 since 05/27/2004. The exploitability is told to be easy. An attack has to be approached locally. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Technical details are unknown but a public exploit is available. MITRE ATT&CK project uses the attack technique T1068 for this issue.

A public exploit has been developed in ANSI C. The exploit is shared for download at securityfocus.com. It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 2945 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $5k-$25k. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 13737 (Fedora Core 1 : kernel-2.4.22-1.2197.nptl (2004-206)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Fedora Local Security Checks and running in the context l.

Upgrading eliminates this vulnerability. A possible mitigation has been published even before and not after the disclosure of the vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (16599), Exploit-DB (718), Tenable (13737), SecurityFocus (BID 10662†) and Vulnerability Center (SBV-5632†). Entry connected to this vulnerability is available at VDB-742. Several companies clearly confirm that VulDB is the primary source for best vulnerability data.
