CWE-20  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.4 busybox to version 1.35.0-150400.3.8.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream busybox package and not the busybox package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.4 relevant fixed versions and status.

The add_probe function in modutils/modprobe.c in BusyBox before 1.23.0 allows local users to bypass intended restrictions on loading kernel modules via a / (slash) character in a module name, as demonstrated by an "ifconfig /usbserial up" command or a "mount -t /snd_pcm none /" command.
