What it is about
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) ist eine populäre Linux-Distribution. Ein entfernter, anonymer Angreifer kann eine Schwachstelle in Red Hat Enterprise Linux ausnutzen, um Sicherheitsvorkehrungen zu umgehen und so möglicherweise beliebigen Code auszuführen.
Under what conditions?
Over the network and without logging in. This is the most dangerous combination: attackers can scan reachable devices automatically.
What can happen in the worst case
An attacker could use the vulnerability to
- Sicherheitsvorkehrungen zu umgehen
- so möglicherweise beliebigen Code auszuführen
Am I affected?
