Qualys has discovered that OpenBSD suffers from multiple authentication bypass and local privilege escalation vulnerabilities.

Qualys discovered a local privilege escalation in OpenBSD's dynamic loader (ld.so). This vulnerability is exploitable in the default installation (via the set-user-ID executable chpass or passwd) and yields full root privileges. They developed a simple proof of concept and successfully tested it against OpenBSD 6.6 (the current release), 6.5, 6.2, and 6.1, on both amd64 and i386; other releases and architectures are probably also exploitable.

This Metasploit module exploits a vulnerability in the OpenBSD ld.so dynamic loader (CVE-2019-19726). The _dl_getenv() function fails to reset the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable when set with approximately ARG_MAX colons. This can be abused to load libutil.so from an untrusted path, using LD_LIBRARY_PATH in combination with the chpass set-uid executable, resulting in privileged code execution. This module has been tested successfully on OpenBSD 6.1 (amd64) and OpenBSD 6.6 (amd64).

Qualys discovered a vulnerability in OpenSMTPD, OpenBSD's mail server. This vulnerability is exploitable since May 2018 (commit a8e222352f, "switch smtpd to new grammar") and allows an attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands, as root.

Microsoft Windows WizardOpium local privilege escalation exploit.

Microsoft Windows 10 SMB version 3.1.1 SMBGhost local privilege escalation exploit.

Microsoft Windows suffers from an NtFilterToken ParentTokenId incorrect setting that allows for elevation of privileges.

In Microsoft Windows, by using the poorly documented SE_SERVER_SECURITY Control flag it is possible to set an owner different to the caller, bypassing security checks.

This Metasploit module exploits a logic flaw due to how the lpApplicationName parameter is handled. When the lpApplicationName contains a space, the file name is ambiguous. Take this file path as example: C:program fileshello.exe; The Windows API will try to interpret this as two possible paths: C:program.exe, and C:program fileshello.exe, and then execute all of them. To some software developers, this is an unexpected behavior, which becomes a security problem if an attacker is able to place a malicious executable in one of these unexpected paths, sometimes escalate privileges if run as SYSTEM. Some software such as OpenVPN 2.1.1, OpenSSH Server 5, and others have the same problem.

Scanguard versions through 2019-11-12 on Windows has insecure permissions for the installation directory, leading to privilege escalation via a trojan horse executable file.

ProficySCADA for iOS version 5.0.25920 suffers from a denial of service vulnerability.

Scapy is a powerful interactive packet manipulation tool, packet generator, network scanner, network discovery tool, and packet sniffer. It provides classes to interactively create packets or sets of packets, manipulate them, send them over the wire, sniff other packets from the wire, match answers and replies, and more. Interaction is provided by the Python interpreter, so Python programming structures can be used (such as variables, loops, and functions). Report modules are possible and easy to make. It is intended to do the same things as ttlscan, nmap, hping, queso, p0f, xprobe, arping, arp-sk, arpspoof, firewalk, irpas, tethereal, tcpdump, etc.

Ubiquiti Networks UniFi Cloud Key with firmware versions 0.5.9 and 0.6.0 suffer from weak crypto, privilege escalation, and command injection vulnerabilities.

Microsoft Windows 7 Build 7601 (x86) local privilege escalation exploit.

The Plantronics Hub client application for Windows makes use of an automatic update service SpokesUpdateService.exe which automatically executes a file specified in the MajorUpgrade.config configuration file as SYSTEM. The configuration file is writable by all users by default. This module has been tested successfully on Plantronics Hub version 3.13.2 on Windows 7 SP1 (x64). This Metasploit module has been tested successfully on Plantronics Hub version 3.13.2 on Windows 7 SP1 (x64).

The Windscribe VPN client application for Windows makes use of a Windows service WindscribeService.exe which exposes a named pipe \.pipeWindscribeService allowing execution of programs with elevated privileges. Windscribe versions prior to 1.82 do not validate user-supplied program names, allowing execution of arbitrary commands as SYSTEM. This Metasploit module has been tested successfully on Windscribe versions 1.80 and 1.81 on Windows 7 SP1 (x64).

This Metasploit module leverages a trusted file overwrite with a dll hijacking vulnerability to gain SYSTEM-level access on vulnerable Windows 10 x64 targets.

This Metasploit module exploits a NULL pointer dereference vulnerability in MNGetpItemFromIndex(), which is reachable via a NtUserMNDragOver() system call. The NULL pointer dereference occurs because the xxxMNFindWindowFromPoint() function does not effectively check the validity of the tagPOPUPMENU objects it processes before passing them on to MNGetpItemFromIndex(), where the NULL pointer dereference will occur. This module has been tested against Windows 7 x86 SP0 and SP1. Offsets within the solution may need to be adjusted to work with other versions of Windows, such as Windows Server 2008.

Local root exploit for the FreeBSD mqueuefs vulnerability as disclosed in FreeBSD-SA-19:15.mqueuefs.

Local root exploit for the FreeBSD fd vulnerability as disclosed in FreeBSD-SA-19:02.fd.

CentOS Control Web Panel version 0.9.8.836 suffers from a privilege escalation vulnerability.

This Metasploit module attempts to gain root privileges by blindly injecting into the session user's running shell processes and executing commands by calling system(), in the hope that the process has valid cached sudo tokens with root privileges. The system must have gdb installed and permit ptrace. This module has been tested successfully on Debian 9.8 (x64) and CentOS 7.4.1708 (x64).

This Metasploit module attempts to gain root privileges with SUID Xorg X11 server versions 1.19.0 up to 1.20.3. A permission check flaw exists for -modulepath and -logfile options when starting Xorg. This allows unprivileged users that can start the server the ability to elevate privileges and run arbitrary code under root privileges. This module has been tested with CentOS 7 (1708). CentOS default install will require console auth for the users session. Xorg must have SUID permissions and may not start if running. On successful exploitation artifacts will be created consistent with starting Xorg.

This Metasploit module is an exploit that takes advantage of xglance-bin, part of HP's Glance (or Performance Monitoring) version 11 and subsequent, which was compiled with an insecure RPATH option. The RPATH includes a relative path to -L/lib64/ which can be controlled by a user. Creating libraries in this location will result in an escalation of privileges to root.
