CVE-2024-13206
with vRx
📜This Bash script is designed to mitigate the CVE-2024-13206 vulnerability in systems running REVE Antivirus. The script checks for the existence of a vulnerable file, /usr/local/reveantivirus/tmp/reveinstall, and, if found, adjusts the file permissions to 700 (restricting access to only the owner). This mitigates the vulnerability by ensuring that the file cannot be accessed or executed by unauthorized users, thus preventing potential privilege escalation or unauthorized code execution.
CVE-2024-13206 affects REVE Antivirus 1.0.0.0 on Linux systems. The vulnerability arises from the insecure permissions set on the /usr/local/reveantivirus/tmp/reveinstall file, which may be set to 777 (read, write, and execute for all users). This opens the door for an attacker to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
This mitigation script targets this issue by adjusting the permissions of the vulnerable file. The script first checks if the file exists at the specified path. If it does, the script modifies the file's permissions to 700, which allows only the file's owner (usually the root user) to read, write, and execute the file. This effectively blocks any unauthorized access, mitigating the risk of exploitation.
🚀This mitigation is essential because it helps secure systems vulnerable to privilege escalation through CVE-2024-13206. If left unmitigated, an attacker could gain elevated privileges, potentially compromising sensitive data or gaining full control over the system. By applying this script, system administrators can reduce the risk of exploitation and maintain a more secure environment.
