Summary

Vulnerability in udisks2 allows a local attacker with an active console session to exploit insufficient authorization on the 'as-user' option in the Mount() D-Bus method. This allows spoofing and mounting filesystems on behalf of other users, leading to privilege escalation.

Risk Assessment

An attacker could gain administrator privileges, enabling full system control and access to sensitive data.

Recommendation

Original NVD description (English source)

A flaw was found in udisks2. A local attacker with an active console session can exploit insufficient authorization checking on the 'as-user' option in the org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Filesystem.Mount() D-Bus method. This allows the attacker to spoof the 'as-user' parameter, mounting filesystems on behalf of arbitrary users, including privileged accounts. This can lead to local privilege escalation through mount point injection and manipulation of the mount namespace visible to privileged users.
