CVE-2025-23386

Root escalation via insecure package post-installation script

Published Apr 10, 2025 · Updated Apr 10, 2025

Incorrect default permissions in gerbera on openSUSE Tumbleweed before 2.5.0-1.1 allow local users to escalate from gerbera to root. The package's %post script applies unsafe default permissions, but SUSE has not published the affected path or permission-setting command. Exploitation requires control of the gerbera service account and grants root-level access to the host.
