CVE-2018-1122  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.0 procps to version 3.3.15-7.7.26 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream procps package and not the procps package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.0 relevant fixed versions and status.

procps-ng before version 3.3.15 is vulnerable to a local privilege escalation in top. If a user runs top with HOME unset in an attacker-controlled directory, the attacker could achieve privilege escalation by exploiting one of several vulnerabilities in the config_file() function.
