CVE-2019-3689

CRITICAL 9.8EPSS 1.52%

Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.52%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

The nfs-utils package in SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 before and including version 1.3.0-34.18.1 and in SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 before and including version 2.1.1-6.10.2 the directory /var/lib/nfs is owned by statd:nogroup. This directory contains files owned and managed by root. If statd is compromised, it can therefore trick processes running with root privileges into creating/overwriting files anywhere on the system.
