CVE-2019-10143: Fedoraproject Fedora

High severity, CVSS 7.0. EPSS: 0.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

It was discovered freeradius up to and including version 3.0.19 does not correctly configure logrotate, allowing a local attacker who already has control of the radiusd user to escalate his privileges to root, by tricking logrotate into writing a radiusd-writable file to a directory normally inaccessible by the radiusd user. NOTE: the upstream software maintainer has stated "there is simply no way for anyone to gain privileges through this alleged issue."

Affected products

• Fedoraproject Fedora: version 29 only; version 30 only
• Freeradius Freeradius: up to and including 3.0.19
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux: version 8.0 only
