Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote

  • Vulnerable function is `generate_smb_nt_hash` in `include/functions.inc` within GOsa; monitor for unsanitized password input passed to this function that could result in OS command execution
  • Focus code review and runtime monitoring on the file path `include/functions.inc` in GOsa installations for shell injection patterns in password handling
  • ·Vulnerability is scoped as 'local' per Debian Security Tracker, which may limit remote exploitability in some configurations despite NVD describing it as remotely exploitable
  • ·Fixed in GOsa version 2.7.4+reloaded2-6 across all affected Debian releases (bookworm, bullseye, forky, sid, trixie); ensure deployments are patched to this version or later
