Summary
apt-cacher-ng through 3.3 allows local users to obtain sensitive information by hijacking the hardcoded TCP port. The /usr/lib/apt-cacher-ng/acngtool program attempts to connect to apt-cacher-ng via TCP on localhost port 3142, even if the explicit SocketPath=/var/run/apt-cacher-ng/socket command-line option is passed. The cron job /etc/cron.daily/apt-cacher-ng (which is active by default) attempts this periodically. Because 3142 is an unprivileged port, any local user can try to bind to this port and will receive requests from acngtool. There can be sensitive data in these requests, e.g., if AdminAuth is enabled in /etc/apt-cacher-ng/security.conf. This sensitive data can leak to unprivileged local users that manage to bind to this port before the apt-cacher-ng daemon can.

Como el 3142 es un puerto sin privilegios, cualquier usuario local puede intentar vincularse a este puerto y recibir\u00e1 peticiones desde acngtool. Puede haber datos confidenciales en estas peticiones, por ejemplo, si AdminAuth est\u00e1 habilitado en /etc/apt-cacher-ng/security.conf. Estos datos confidenciales pueden filtrarse a usuarios locales no privilegiados que logran unirse a este puerto antes de que el demonio apt-cacher-ng pueda hacerlo.\"}],\"metrics\":{\"cvssMetricV31\":[{\"source\":\"nvd@nist.gov\",\"type\":\"Primary\",\"cvssData\":{\"version\":\"3.1\",\"vectorString\":\"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N\",\"baseScore\":5.5,\"baseSeverity\":\"MEDIUM\",\"attackVector\":\"LOCAL\",\"attackComplexity\":\"LOW\",\"privilegesRequired\":\"LOW\",\"userInteraction\":\"NONE\",\"scope\":\"UNCHANGED\",\"confidentialityImpact\":\"HIGH\",\"integrityImpact\":\"NONE\",\"availabilityImpact\":\"NONE\"},\"exploitabilityScore\":1.8,\"impactScore\":3.6}],\"cvssMetricV2\":[{\"source\":\"nvd@nist.gov\",\"type\":\"Primary\",\"cvssData\":{\"version\":\"2.0\",\"vectorString\":\"AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N\",\"baseScore\":2.1,\"accessVector\":\"LOCAL\",\"accessComplexity\":\"LOW\",\"authentication\":\"NONE\",\"confidentialityImpact\":\"PARTIAL\",\"integrityImpact\":\"NONE\",\"availabilityImpact\":\"NONE\"},\"baseSeverity\":\"LOW\",\"exploitabilityScore\":3.9,\"impactScore\":2.9,\"acInsufInfo\":false,\"obtainAllPrivilege\":false,\"obtainUserPrivilege\":false,\"obtainOtherPrivilege\":false,\"userInteractionRequired\":false}]},\"weaknesses\":[{\"source\":\"nvd@nist.gov\",\"type\":\"Primary\",\"description\":[{\"lang\":\"en\",\"value\":\"NVD-CWE-noinfo\"}]}],\"configurations\":[{\"nodes\":[{\"operator\":\"OR\",\"negate\":false,\"cpeMatch\":[{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:a:apt-cacher-ng_project:apt-cacher-ng:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionEndIncluding\":\"3.3\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"9F58C1F6-AA0C-46EC-81CC-14F62DDD1D1F\"}]}]},{\"nodes\":[{\"operator\":\"OR\",\"negate\":false,\"cpeMatch\":[{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:debian:debian_linux:8.0:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"C11E6FB0-C8C0-4527-9AA0-CB9B316F8F43\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:debian:debian_linux:9.0:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"DEECE5FC-CACF-4496-A3E7-164736409252\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:debian:debian_linux:10.0:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"07B237A9-69A3-4A9C-9DA0-4E06BD37AE73\"}]}]},{\"nodes\":[{\"operator\":\"OR\",\"negate\":false,\"cpeMatch\":[{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:opensuse:backports:sle-15:sp1:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"C84D9410-31B7-421A-AD99-8ED2E45A9BC6\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:opensuse:leap:15.1:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"B620311B-34A3-48A6-82DF-6F078D7A4493\"}]}]}],\"references\":[{\"url\":\"http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2020-01/msg00057.html\",\"source\":\"cve@mitre.org\",\"tags\":[\"Mailing List\",\"Third Party Advisory\"]},{\"url\":\"http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2020-01/msg00065.html\",\"source\":\"cve@mitre.org\",\"tags\":[\"Mailing List\",\"Third Party Advisory\"]},{\"url\":\"http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2020/01/20/4\",\"source\":\"cve@mitre.org\",\"tags\":[\"Exploit\",\"Mailing List\",\"Third Party Advisory\"]},{\"url\":\"http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2020/01/20/4\",\"source\":\"cve@mitre.org\",\"tags\":[\"Exploit\",\"Mailing List\",\"Third Party Advisory\"]},{\"url\":\"https://seclists.org/oss-sec/2020/q1/21\",\"source\":\"cve@mitre.org\",\"tags\":[\"Exploit\",\"Mailing List\",\"Third Party Advisory\"]},{\"url\":\"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2020-5202\",\"source\":\"cve@mitre.org\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\",\"Third Party Advisory\"]},{\"url\":\"http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2020-01/msg00057.html\",\"source\":\"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108\",\"tags\":[\"Mailing List\",\"Third Party Advisory\"]},{\"url\":\"http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2020-01/msg00065.html\",\"source\":\"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108\",\"tags\":[\"Mailing List\",\"Third Party Advisory\"]},{\"url\":\"http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2020/01/20/4\",\"source\":\"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108\",\"tags\":[\"Exploit\",\"Mailing List\",\"Third Party Advisory\"]},{\"url\":\"http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2020/01/20/4\",\"source\":\"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108\",\"tags\":[\"Exploit\",\"Mailing List\",\"Third Party Advisory\"]},{\"url\":\"https://seclists.org/oss-sec/2020/q1/21\",\"source\":\"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108\",\"tags\":[\"Exploit\",\"Mailing List\",\"Third Party Advisory\"]},{\"url\":\"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2020-5202\",\"source\":\"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\",\"Third Party Advisory\"]}]}}"
