Local privilege escalation via vulnerable SUID binaries
Published May 1, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Privilege escalation in Progress OpenEdge before 11.7.14 and 12.x before 12.2.9 allows local users to compromise the host. Certain SUID binaries run with their owner’s privileges, but Progress has not disclosed the binary names or the unsafe operation that permits escalation. Exploitation requires low-privileged local access on a Unix or Linux host and grants elevated privileges across the affected system.
