CVE-2020-10279

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions MiR robot controllers (central computation unit) version Ubuntu 16.04.2

Description The MiR robot controllers' central computation unit uses Ubuntu 16.04.2, an operating system initially designed for desktop use, which presents insecure defaults for robots. These insecurities include a way for users to escalate their access beyond what they were granted via file creation, access race conditions, insecure home directory configurations, and defaults that facilitate Denial of Service (DoS) attacks.

Recommendations For Ubuntu 16.04.2, consider updating to a newer version of the operating system to address the insecure defaults. As a temporary workaround, restrict access to sensitive files and directories to minimize the risk of access escalation and Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. Additionally, review and secure home directory configurations to prevent unauthorized access.
