| CVE | Summary | Source | Max CVSS | EPSS % | Published | Updated |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CVE-2024-48992 | Qualys discovered that needrestart, before version 3.8, allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code as root by tricking needrestart into running the Ruby interpreter with an attacker-controlled RUBYLIB environment variable. | [email protected] | 7.8 | 6.61% | 2024-11-19 | 2026-06-17 |
| CVE-2024-48991 | Qualys discovered that needrestart, before version 3.8, allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code as root by winning a race condition and tricking needrestart into running their own, fake Python interpreter (instead of the system's real Python interpreter). The initial security fix (6ce6136) introduced a regression which was subsequently resolved (42af5d3). | [email protected] | 7.8 | 5.29% | 2024-11-19 | 2026-06-17 |
| CVE-2024-48990 | Qualys discovered that needrestart, before version 3.8, allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code as root by tricking needrestart into running the Python interpreter with an attacker-controlled PYTHONPATH environment variable. | [email protected] | 7.8 | 19.92% | 2024-11-19 | 2026-06-17 |
| CVE-2024-11003 | Qualys discovered that needrestart, before version 3.8, passes unsanitized data to a library (Modules::ScanDeps) which expects safe input. This could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands. Please see the related CVE-2024-10224 in Modules::ScanDeps. | [email protected] | 7.8 | 11.54% | 2024-11-19 | 2026-06-17 |
| CVE-2022-30688 | needrestart 0.8 through 3.5 before 3.6 is prone to local privilege escalation. Regexes to detect the Perl, Python, and Ruby interpreters are not anchored, allowing a local user to escalate privileges when needrestart tries to detect if interpreters are using old source files. | [email protected] | 7.8 | 0.40% | 2022-05-17 | 2026-06-17 |
