Technical details

A missing authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) exists in the pardus-software component of the Pardus operating system. The flaw allows a local attacker to perform argument injection due to insufficient validation and authorization checks when handling software management tasks. By exploiting this, a low-privileged user can execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the software manager, typically root. The issue affects versions up to and including 1.0.4 and is addressed in version 1.0.5.
