{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2019-3689","details":"The nfs-utils package in SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 before and including version 1.3.0-34.18.1 and in SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 before and including version 2.1.1-6.10.2 the directory /var/lib/nfs is owned by statd:nogroup. This directory contains files owned and managed by root. If statd is compromised, it can therefore trick processes running with root privileges into creating/overwriting files anywhere on the system.","modified":"2026-02-04T02:23:52.243490Z","published":"2019-09-19T14:15:00Z","related":["USN-4400-1"],"upstream":["CVE-2019-3689"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2019-3689"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-4400-1"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2019-3689"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"nfs-utils","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:14.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/nfs-utils@1:1.2.8-6ubuntu1.2?arch=source&distro=trusty"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1:1.2.8-2ubuntu2","1:1.2.8-4ubuntu1","1:1.2.8-5ubuntu1","1:1.2.8-6ubuntu1","1:1.2.8-6ubuntu1.1","1:1.2.8-6ubuntu1.2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"1:1.2.8-6ubuntu1.2","binary_name":"nfs-common"},{"binary_version":"1:1.2.8-6ubuntu1.2","binary_name":"nfs-kernel-server"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2019/UBUNTU-CVE-2019-3689.json"}},{"package":{"name":"nfs-utils","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:16.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/nfs-utils@1:1.2.8-9ubuntu12.3?arch=source&distro=xenial"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1:1.2.8-9ubuntu12.3"}]}],"versions":["1:1.2.8-9ubuntu10","1:1.2.8-9ubuntu11","1:1.2.8-9ubuntu12","1:1.2.8-9ubuntu12.1","1:1.2.8-9ubuntu12.2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"availability":"No subscription required","binaries":[{"binary_version":"1:1.2.8-9ubuntu12.3","binary_name":"nfs-common"},{"binary_version":"1:1.2.8-9ubuntu12.3","binary_name":"nfs-kernel-server"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2019/UBUNTU-CVE-2019-3689.json"}},{"package":{"name":"nfs-utils","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:18.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/nfs-utils@1:1.3.4-2.1ubuntu5.3?arch=source&distro=bionic"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1:1.3.4-2.1ubuntu5.3"}]}],"versions":["1:1.3.4-2.1ubuntu2","1:1.3.4-2.1ubuntu4","1:1.3.4-2.1ubuntu5","1:1.3.4-2.1ubuntu5.1","1:1.3.4-2.1ubuntu5.2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"availability":"No subscription required","binaries":[{"binary_version":"1:1.3.4-2.1ubuntu5.3","binary_name":"nfs-common"},{"binary_version":"1:1.3.4-2.1ubuntu5.3","binary_name":"nfs-kernel-server"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2019/UBUNTU-CVE-2019-3689.json"}},{"package":{"name":"nfs-utils","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:20.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/nfs-utils@1:1.3.4-2.5ubuntu3.3?arch=source&distro=focal"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1:1.3.4-2.5ubuntu3.3"}]}],"versions":["1:1.3.4-2.5ubuntu2","1:1.3.4-2.5ubuntu3","1:1.3.4-2.5ubuntu3.1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"availability":"No subscription required","binaries":[{"binary_version":"1:1.3.4-2.5ubuntu3.3","binary_name":"nfs-common"},{"binary_version":"1:1.3.4-2.5ubuntu3.3","binary_name":"nfs-kernel-server"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2019/UBUNTU-CVE-2019-3689.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.3","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L"},{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"low"}]}
