Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.117817
Category:Privilege escalation
Title:Collabora CODE / Collabora Online < 4.2.13 / 5.x < 6.4.3 Privilege Escalation Vulnerability
Summary:'loolforkit' as used in Collabora CODE (Collabora Online; Development Edition) and Collabora Online is prone to a privilege escalation vulnerability.
Description:Summary:
'loolforkit' as used in Collabora CODE (Collabora Online
Development Edition) and Collabora Online is prone to a privilege escalation vulnerability.

Vulnerability Insight:
'loolforkit' is a privileged program that is supposed to be run
by a special, non-privileged 'lool' user. Before doing anything else 'loolforkit' checks, if it
was invoked by the 'lool' user, and refuses to run with privileges, if it's not the case. In the
vulnerable version of 'loolforkit' this check was wrong, so a normal user could start 'loolforkit'
and eventually get local root privileges.

Affected Software/OS:
Collabora CODE / Collabora Online versions prior to 4.2.13 and
5.x/6.x prior to 6.4.3.

Solution:
Update to version 4.2.13, 6.4.3 or later.

CVSS Score:
7.2
