High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

Vulnerability in the opiepasswd tool in OPIE (One-Time Passwords in Everything) in FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE-p22 through 6.1-STABLE before 20060322. The getlogin function is used to determine the invoking user account, which may allow local users to configure OPIE access to the root account and possibly gain root privileges if the wheel group or sshd configuration permits.

Risk Assessment

The risk involves potential privilege escalation by a local user to the root account, which could lead to full system compromise.

Recommendation

It is recommended to immediately update the FreeBSD system to a version after 20060322 or apply the appropriate security patch.
