CVE-2024-48991 (GCVE-0-2024-48991)
Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2024-11-19 17:38 – Updated: 2025-11-03 22:22
VLAI
Summary
Qualys discovered that needrestart, before version 3.8, allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code as root by winning a race condition and tricking needrestart into running their own, fake Python interpreter (instead of the system's real Python interpreter). The initial security fix (6ce6136) introduced a regression which was subsequently resolved (42af5d3).
