CVE-2024-2175

Local privilege escalation

Published Aug 16, 2024 · Updated Aug 16, 2024

Incorrect default permissions in Lenovo Accessories and Display Manager before 1.0.3.05 allow local users to escalate privileges. Lenovo has not published the affected file, directory, or permission assignment, so the exact operation that exposes privileged resources is undisclosed. Exploitation requires existing low-privileged local access, needs no user interaction, and grants higher privileges on the host.
