CVE-2024-10224

Qualys discovered that if unsanitized input was used with the library Modules::ScanDeps, before version 1.36 a local attacker could possibly execute arbitrary shell commands by open()ing a "pesky pipe" (such as passing "commands|" as a filename) or by passing arbitrary strings to eval().

This module scans potential modules used by perl programs, and returns a hash reference; its keys are the module names as appears in %INC (e.g. Test/More.pm); the values are hash references.

Security Fix(es):

These are all security issues fixed in the perl-Module-ScanDeps-1.370.0-1.1 package on the GA media of openSUSE Tumbleweed.

Qualys discovered that needrestart passed unsanitized data to a library (libmodule-scandeps-perl) which expects safe input. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code as root. (CVE-2024-11003)

Qualys discovered that the library libmodule-scandeps-perl incorrectly parsed perl code. This could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands. (CVE-2024-10224)

Qualys discovered that needrestart incorrectly used the PYTHONPATH environment variable to spawn a new Python interpreter. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code as root. (CVE-2024-48990)

Qualys discovered that needrestart incorrectly checked the path to the Python interpreter. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to win a race condition and execute arbitrary code as root. (CVE-2024-48991)

Qualys discovered that needrestart incorrectly used the RUBYLIB environment variable to spawn a new Ruby interpreter. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code as root. (CVE-2024-48992)
