CVE-2023-24286
Linux Debian vulnerability analysis and mitigation

Overview

Acer QuickAccess 2.01.300x before 2.01.3030 and 3.00.30xx before 3.00.3038 contains a local privilege escalation vulnerability. The vulnerability exists in the communication between a user process and a system authority service through a named pipe, where the Named Pipe has Read and Write rights granted to general users. Additionally, the service program does not properly verify the user during communication (CVE Details).

Technical details

The vulnerability stems from improper access control in the named pipe communication mechanism. When a specific command thread exists, sending a program path to be executed results in the service program executing that path with system privileges. The Named Pipe implementation lacks proper user verification during communication, and the pipe is configured with excessive permissions (Read and Write) for general users (CVE Details).

Impact

The vulnerability allows local attackers to achieve privilege escalation by exploiting the insecure named pipe communication. A successful exploit enables attackers to execute arbitrary programs with system privileges, effectively gaining complete control over the affected system (CVE Details).

Mitigation and workarounds

The vulnerability has been fixed in Acer QuickAccess versions 2.01.3030 and 3.00.3038. Users of affected versions should upgrade to these patched versions to mitigate the vulnerability (CVE Details).
