CVE-2023-28144

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions KDAB Hotspot versions 1.3.x through 1.4.1

Description The issue allows privilege escalation due to race conditions involving symlinks and elevate perf privileges.sh chown calls, specifically in non-default configurations.

Recommendations For versions 1.3.x through 1.4.1, consider restricting access to the elevate perf privileges.sh script until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the chown calls in the elevate perf privileges.sh script to minimize the risk of exploitation. Restrict the creation of symlinks to prevent potential privilege escalation.
