The Mandos system allows computers to have encrypted root file systems and at the same time be capable of remote or unattended reboots. The computers run a small client program in the initial RAM disk environment which will communicate with a server over a network. All network communication is encrypted using TLS. The clients are identified by the server using an OpenPGP key that is unique to each client. The server sends the clients an encrypted password. The encrypted password is decrypted by the clients using the same OpenPGP key, and the password is then used to unlock the root file system.

5ae6b1f300710953b64144f45eb1ec87This Metasploit module exploits an authenticated PHP code injection vulnerability found in openmediavault versions before 4.1.36 and 5.x versions before 5.5.12 inclusive in the "sortfield" POST parameter of the rpc.php page, because "json_encode_safe()" is not used in config/databasebackend.inc. Successful exploitation grants attackers the ability to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system as root.
5db0392e6b4ca81a678c8e7564a34918This Metasploit module exploits an unauthenticated command injection vulnerability found in ZeroShell version 3.9.0 in the "/cgi-bin/kerbynet" url. As sudo is configured to execute /bin/tar without a password (NOPASSWD) it is possible to run root commands using the "checkpoint" tar options.

32d76f8ffc8bd331459a547cee40769eBarco wePresent WiPG-1600W versions 2.5.1.8, 2.5.0.25, 2.5.0.24, and 2.4.1.19 have a hardcoded root password hash included in the firmware image.
f546a4da12e5bb23b7138a0af23f3ff1AIX version 5.3L libc local environment handling local root exploit. The AIX 5.3L (and possibly others) libc is vulnerable to multiple buffer overflow issues in the handling of locale environment variables. This allows for exploitation of any setuid root binary that makes use of functions such as setlocale() which do not perform bounds checking when handling LC_* environment variables. An attacker can leverage this issue to obtain root privileges on an impacted AIX system. This exploit makes use of the "/usr/bin/su" binary to trigger the overflow through LC_ALL and obtain root.

404c3fced5ca1174299093282bd7c407Ubuntu Security Notice 4171-6 - USN-4171-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Apport. The update caused a regression when handling configuration files. This update fixes the problem, and also introduces further hardening measures. Kevin Backhouse discovered Apport would read its user-controlled settings file as the root user. This could be used by a local attacker to possibly crash Apport or have other unspecified consequences. Sander Bos discovered a race-condition in Apport during core dump creation. This could be used by a local attacker to generate a crash report for a privileged process that is readable by an unprivileged user. Sander Bos discovered Apport mishandled crash dumps originating from containers. This could be used by a local attacker to generate a crash report for a privileged process that is readable by an unprivileged user. Sander Bos discovered Apport mishandled lock-file creation. This could be used by a local attacker to cause a denial of service against Apport. Kevin Backhouse discovered Apport read various process-specific files with elevated privileges during crash dump generation. This could could be used by a local attacker to generate a crash report for a privileged process that is readable by an unprivileged user. Various other issues were also addressed.

d12eee8c984e0886c5230dcda82b9d70Ubuntu Security Notice 3081-2 - Dawid Golunski discovered that the Tomcat init script incorrectly handled creating log files. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain root privileges.
3033f5f797851ab5b2c70da0510266daAdtec Digital is a leading manufacturer of Broadcast, Cable and IPTV products and solutions. Many of their devices utilize hard-coded and default credentials within its Linux distribution image for Web/Telnet/SSH access. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by logging in using the default credentials for accessing the web interface or gain shell access as root.
063154d6c7521ecfedc183b52625d739Ubuntu Security Notice 4552-2 - Malte Kraus discovered that Pam-python mishandled certain environment variables. A local attacker could potentially use this vulnerability to execute programs as root.
8e2cfd8ac01a04276fbc8e5bfac08a5eUbuntu Security Notice 4601-1 - It was discovered that pip did not properly sanitize the filename during pip install. A remote attacker could possible use this issue to read and write arbitrary files on the host filesystem as root, resulting in a directory traversal attack.
bc4ff49ae92b05e0317b150277586672An unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability was found in the LISTSERV Maestro software, versions 9.0-8 and below. This vulnerability stems from a known issue in struts, CVE-2010-1870, that allows for code execution via OGNL Injection. This vulnerability has been confirmed to be exploitable in both the Windows and Linux version of the software and has existed in the LISTSERV Maestro software since at least version 8.1-5. As a result, a specially crafted HTTP request can be constructed that executes code in the context of the web application. Exploitation of this vulnerability does not require authentication and can lead to root level privilege on any system running the LISTServ Maestro services.
a3168454ee163a5555ee9cdd35609b72Ubuntu Security Notice 4552-1 - Malte Kraus discovered that Pam-python mishandled certain environment variables. A local attacker could potentially use this vulnerability to execute programs as root.
9b50a0e88882a3a241628e82fb4462d0This Metasploit module exploits an arbitrary file upload vulnerability in MaraCMS versions 7.5 and below in order to execute arbitrary commands. The module first attempts to authenticate to MaraCMS. It then tries to upload a malicious PHP file to the web root via an HTTP POST request to codebase/handler.php. If the php target is selected, the payload is embedded in the uploaded file and the module attempts to execute the payload via an HTTP GET request to this file. For the linux and windows targets, the module uploads a simple PHP web shell. Subsequently, it leverages the CmdStager mixin to deliver the final payload via a series of HTTP GET requests to the PHP web shell. Valid credentials for a MaraCMS admin or manager account are required. This module has been successfully tested against MaraCMS 7.5 running on Windows Server 2012 (XAMPP server).

780c083fc00b5826b5832bcbc0efebb5Ubuntu Security Notice 4533-1 - Veeti Veteläinen discovered that the LTSP Display Manager incorrectly handled user logins from unsupported shells. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to gain root privileges.
f737de063aa0c72d9f092dd14307d74aThis Metasploit module exploits an authenticated command injection vulnerability in Artica Proxy, combined with an authentication bypass discovered on the same version, it is possible to trigger the vulnerability without knowing the credentials. The application runs in a virtual appliance and successful exploitation of this vulnerability yields remote code execution as root on the remote system.
2f2103c5669ae141590617b76ac578f0Google's osconfig agent was vulnerable to local privilege escalation due to relying on a predictable path inside the /tmp directory. An unprivileged malicious process could abuse this flaw to win a race condition and take over the files managed by the high privileged agent process and thus execute arbitrary commands as the root user (full capabilities). Exploitation was possible only during an osconfig recipe being deployed.
819b19459bc7ce2b7e573c7913774ecdUbuntu Security Notice 4530-1 - Wolfgang Schweer discovered that Debian-LAN did not properly handle ACLs for the Kerberos admin server. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to change the passwords of other users, leading to root privilege escalation.
