Description
DigitalCanion has discovered a vulnerability that allows an attacker to cause the system to load an attacker-controlled .so file instead of the expected legitimate module. The loading mechanism relies on a predictable module name without adequately verifying the file’s origin or integrity. A malicious shared object using the expected name can therefore be loaded by a privileged process. The module code then executes within the context and privileges of that process. This results in arbitrary code execution and full compromise of the Mitel Linux virtual machine.

AI Analysis

Impact

DigitalCanion reported that Mitel MiVoice Office 400 processes a shared object with a predictable name and does not verify the file’s origin or integrity before loading it. An attacker who provides a malicious shared object bearing the expected name can cause a privileged process to import it. The module code then executes with the same privileges as that process, enabling the attacker to run arbitrary commands and gain complete control of the affected Linux virtual machine.

Affected Systems

The flaw exists in the Mitel MiVoice Office 400 platform deployed on Linux virtual machines. No individual product versions are singled out in the advisory, implying that any installation using the vulnerable module loading routine is susceptible.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS base score of 8.4 signals a high severity for arbitrary code execution. No EPSS data is available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires write access to the directory where the module is stored or the ability to trick a privileged process into loading the object. Because the module loading is not accompanied by origin checks, an attacker with local or privileged access could place a crafted .so file and trigger the import, resulting in full compromise of the host operating system.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Request and apply the latest Mitel MiVoice Office 400 patch that implements integrity checks for shared object files.
  • If a patch is not yet available, restrict write permissions to the module directory and remove the ability for privileged processes to load untrusted objects from that location.
  • Deploy file integrity monitoring on the shared object directory and configure alerts for unauthorized .so file creation or modification.
