    sccache vulnerable to privilege escalation if server is run as root

    CVE-2023-1521 · GHSA-x7fr-pg8f-93f5

    Affected
    • crates.io sccache < 0.4.0
    Fixed in
    0.4.0· Vendor fix available
    Issue
    Impact On Linux the sccache client can execute arbitrary code with the privileges of a local sccache server, by preloading the code in a shared library passed to LDPRELOAD. If the server is run as root (which is the default when installing the snap package), this means a user running the sccache client can get root privileges. Patches Upgrade to 0.4.0 Workarounds Don't run sccache server as root. GitHub Security Lab number GHSL-2023-046

    Recommended action: Upgrade to 0.4.0 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
