HighCVSS 8.4
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

Netdata prior to 2.10.4 contains a vulnerability in the setuid-root ndsudo helper command fail2ban-client-status-socket which accepts a caller-controlled --socket_path from the low-privileged netdata service account, allowing attacker-controlled code to execute as root on systems with fail2ban-client installed.

Risk Assessment

An attacker with netdata account privileges can gain full system control, posing a serious risk to integrity and availability.

Recommendation

Update Netdata to version 2.10.4 or nightly build 2.10.0-782-nightly.

Original NVD description (English source)

Netdata is an open source observability tool. Prior to 2.10.4, the setuid-root ndsudo helper command fail2ban-client-status-socket in src/collectors/utils/ndsudo.c accepts a caller-controlled --socket_path from the low-privileged netdata service account. The account can direct root fail2ban-client to a malicious UNIX socket, and fail2ban/client/csocket.py CSocket.receive() passes the returned data to pickle.loads(), allowing attacker-controlled code to execute as root on systems with fail2ban-client installed. This issue is fixed in version 2.10.4 and nightly build 2.10.0-782-nightly.
