Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in SSH Tectia Manager, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges.
Under certain circumstances, it is possible to execute a user-defined program with escalated privileges due to an error in the management agent component when restarting sshd. This can be exploited by starting an unprivileged sshd program and then press the Management server "Restart" button in Management server GUI, which results in the unprivileged, user-specified sshd process being restarted with "root" privileges.
Successful exploitation requires that the real managed sshd process isn't running when the user-controlled program is executed.
The vulnerability has been reported in version 2.1.2 and prior on Unix and Linux.
