{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2024-52336","details":"A script injection vulnerability was identified in the Tuned package. The `instance_create()` D-Bus function can be called by locally logged-in users without authentication. This flaw allows a local non-privileged user to execute a D-Bus call with `script_pre` or `script_post` options that permit arbitrary scripts with their absolute paths to be passed. These user or attacker-controlled executable scripts or programs could then be executed by Tuned with root privileges that could allow attackers to local privilege escalation.","modified":"2026-05-20T16:19:00.305752935Z","published":"2024-11-26T16:15:00Z","upstream":["CVE-2024-52336"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2024-52336"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2024-52336"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2024-52336"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2324540"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"tuned","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:18.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/tuned?arch=source&distro=bionic"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["2.8.0-1","2.9.0-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"tuned","binary_version":"2.9.0-1"},{"binary_name":"tuned-gtk","binary_version":"2.9.0-1"},{"binary_version":"2.9.0-1","binary_name":"tuned-utils"},{"binary_name":"tuned-utils-systemtap","binary_version":"2.9.0-1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2024/UBUNTU-CVE-2024-52336.json"}},{"package":{"name":"tuned","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:20.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/tuned?arch=source&distro=focal"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["2.10.0-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"tuned","binary_version":"2.10.0-1"},{"binary_name":"tuned-gtk","binary_version":"2.10.0-1"},{"binary_name":"tuned-utils","binary_version":"2.10.0-1"},{"binary_name":"tuned-utils-systemtap","binary_version":"2.10.0-1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2024/UBUNTU-CVE-2024-52336.json"}},{"package":{"name":"tuned","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:22.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/tuned?arch=source&distro=jammy"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["2.15.0-1","2.15.0-1ubuntu1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"2.15.0-1ubuntu1","binary_name":"tuned"},{"binary_name":"tuned-gtk","binary_version":"2.15.0-1ubuntu1"},{"binary_name":"tuned-utils","binary_version":"2.15.0-1ubuntu1"},{"binary_version":"2.15.0-1ubuntu1","binary_name":"tuned-utils-systemtap"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2024/UBUNTU-CVE-2024-52336.json"}},{"package":{"name":"tuned","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:24.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/tuned?arch=source&distro=noble"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["2.20.0-1","2.20.0-1.1","2.21.0-1","2.21.0-1ubuntu2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"tuned","binary_version":"2.21.0-1ubuntu2"},{"binary_name":"tuned-gtk","binary_version":"2.21.0-1ubuntu2"},{"binary_name":"tuned-utils","binary_version":"2.21.0-1ubuntu2"},{"binary_version":"2.21.0-1ubuntu2","binary_name":"tuned-utils-systemtap"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2024/UBUNTU-CVE-2024-52336.json"}},{"package":{"name":"tuned","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:25.10","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/tuned?arch=source&distro=questing"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["2.24.1-1ubuntu1","2.25.1-1ubuntu1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"2.25.1-1ubuntu1","binary_name":"tuned"},{"binary_name":"tuned-gtk","binary_version":"2.25.1-1ubuntu1"},{"binary_version":"2.25.1-1ubuntu1","binary_name":"tuned-ppd"},{"binary_name":"tuned-utils","binary_version":"2.25.1-1ubuntu1"},{"binary_name":"tuned-utils-systemtap","binary_version":"2.25.1-1ubuntu1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2024/UBUNTU-CVE-2024-52336.json"}},{"package":{"name":"tuned","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:26.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/tuned?arch=source&distro=resolute"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["2.25.1-1ubuntu1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"tuned","binary_version":"2.25.1-1ubuntu1"},{"binary_name":"tuned-gtk","binary_version":"2.25.1-1ubuntu1"},{"binary_name":"tuned-ppd","binary_version":"2.25.1-1ubuntu1"},{"binary_name":"tuned-utils","binary_version":"2.25.1-1ubuntu1"},{"binary_name":"tuned-utils-systemtap","binary_version":"2.25.1-1ubuntu1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2024/UBUNTU-CVE-2024-52336.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"medium"}]}
