CVE-2017-7622: Deepin Desktop Environment

High severity, CVSS 8.8. EPSS: 1.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

dde-daemon, the daemon process of DDE (Deepin Desktop Environment) 15.0 through 15.3, runs with root privileges and hardly does anything to identify the user who calls the function through D-Bus. Anybody can change the grub config, even to append some arguments to make a backdoor or privilege escalation, by calling DoWriteGrubSettings() provided by dde-daemon.

Affected products

• Deepin Deepin Desktop Environment: version 15.0 only; version 15.1 only; version 15.2 only; version 15.3 only
