Summary

cloud-init security update

Details

Cloud-init is the defacto multi-distribution package that handles early initialization of a cloud instance.

Security Fix(es):

cloud-init is an industry-standard multi-distribution method for cross-platform cloud instance initialization by Canonical. There is a security vulnerability in cloud-init 25.1.2 and previous versions. The vulnerability originates from cloud-init-hotplugd.socket's default SocketMode permission is 0666, which may cause unauthorized users to trigger commands.(CVE-2024-11584)

cloud-init is an industry-standard multi-distribution method for cross-platform cloud instance initialization by Canonical. There is a security vulnerability in cloud-init, which originates from granting root access to hardcoded URLs during detection by non-x86 platforms.(CVE-2024-6174)

Severity

8.8 (High)

CVE-2024-6174 (GCVE-0-2024-6174)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2025-06-26 09:15 – Updated: 2025-06-26 17:38

Summary

When a non-x86 platform is detected, cloud-init grants root access to a hardcoded url with a local IP address. To prevent this, cloud-init default configurations disable platform enumeration.

Severity

8.8 (High)

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
