TITLE

Apple Remote Desktop Local Authentication Bypass Vulnerability

Trust: 0.9

sources: BID: 20092 // CNNVD: CNNVD-200609-338

DESCRIPTION

Apple Remote Desktop (ARD) for Mac OS X 10.2.8 and later does not drop privileges on the remote machine while installing certain applications, which allows local users to bypass authentication and gain privileges by selecting the icon during installation. NOTE: it could be argued that the issue is not in Remote Desktop itself, but in applications that are installed while using it. Apple Remote Desktop is prone to an authentication-bypass vulnerability. A local attacker can exploit this issue to gain superuser privileges to a vulnerable computer. ARD allows UNIX commands to be sent remotely from a management workstation. Since the ARD administrator may have given sudo access, commands sent remotely may run with root privileges. The LoginWindow process belongs to the logged in user. If the system is in the login window, the LoginWindow process will belong to root. If the system is loaded with a disk image that only root can see, the image will try to appear on the desktop, clicking the mouse will force the display of the desktop and menu, and then the user with physical access to the system will be able to see a finder window, and the root user of the home directory. Users can ignore the login window and then gain full root access
