CVE-2018-10931

It was found that cobbler 2.6.x exposed all functions from its CobblerXMLRPCInterface class over XMLRPC. A remote, unauthenticated attacker could use this flaw to gain high privileges within cobbler, upload files to arbitrary location in the context of the daemon.

This update for cobbler fixes the following issues:

• Add cobbler-tests subpackage for unit testing for openSUSE/SLE

• Adds LoadModule definitions for openSUSE/SLE

• Switch to new refactored auth module.

• use systemctl to restart cobblerd on logfile rotation (boo#1169207) Mainline logrotate conf file uses already /sbin/service instead of outdated: /etc/init.d/cobblerd

• Fix cobbler sync for DHCP or DNS (boo#1169553) Fixed mainline by commit 2d6cfe42da

• New:

  • For the distro there is now a parameter remote_boot_initrd and remote_boot_kernel ()
  • For the profile there is now a parameter filename for DHCP. (#2280)

  • The hardlink command is now detected more dynamically and thus more error resistant (#2297)

It was discovered that Cobbler did not properly handle user input, which could result in an absolute path traversal. An attacker could possibly use this issue to read arbitrary files. (CVE-2014-3225)

It was discovered that Cobbler did not properly handle user input, which could result in command injection. An attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code with high privileges. (CVE-2017-1000469, CVE-2021-45082)

It was discovered that Cobbler did not properly hide private functions in a class. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to gain high privileges and upload files to an arbitrary location. (CVE-2018-10931, CVE-2018-1000225, CVE-2018-1000226)

Nicolas Chatelain discovered that Cobbler did not properly handle user input, which could result in log poisoning. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass authorization, write in an arbitrary file, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-40323, CVE-2021-40324, CVE-2021-40325)

It was discovered that Cobbler did not properly handle file permissions during package install or update operations. An attacker could possibly use this issue to perform a privilege escalation attack. (CVE-2021-45083)

It was discovered that Cobbler did not properly process credentials for expired accounts. An attacker could possibly use this issue to login to the platform with an expired account or password. (CVE-2022-0860)
