Abstract
A vulnerability allows local users to conduct privilege escalation attacks via a susceptible version of Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM) and Synology Router Manager (SRM).

Affected products

Synology Sa Sudo F1 2303

Mitigation : None

Detail :

  • CVE-2023-22809
    • Severity: Low
    • CVSS3 base score: 6.7
    • CVSS3 vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
    • In Sudo before 1.9.12p2, the sudoedit (aka -e) feature mishandles extra arguments passed in the user-provided environment variables (SUDO_EDITOR, VISUAL, and EDITOR), allowing a local attacker to append arbitrary entries to the list of files to process. This can lead to privilege escalation. Affected versions are 1.8.0 through 1.9.12.p1. The problem exists because a user-specified editor may contain a “–” argument that defeats a protection mechanism, e.g., an EDITOR=’vim — /path/to/extra/file’ value.
