#Security Vulnerability

**What privileges could be gained by an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain SYSTEM privileges.

**What privileges could be gained by an attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could create or delete files in the security context of the “NT AUTHORITY\\ LOCAL SERVICE” account.

**According to the CVSS metric, privileges required is low (PR:L). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** Any authenticated attacker could trigger this vulnerability. It does not require admin or other elevated privileges.

**What actions do customers need to take to protect themselves from this vulnerability?** Only customers using Linux/Ubuntu Data Science Virtual Machines (DSVM) with versions prior to 24.05.24 may be affected. For guidance on how to update your resources, reference the following: Upgrade your Data Science Virtual Machine to Ubuntu 20.04. Customers who deploy DSVMs using CLI or scripts may also need to update the DSVM version specified in their deployment parameters.

**According to the CVSS metrics, successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to minor loss of confidentiality (C:L), integrity (I:L) and availability (A:L). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** While we cannot rule out the impact to Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability, the ability to exploit this vulnerability by itself is limited. An attacker would need to combine this with other vulnerabilities to perform an attack.

**According to the CVSS metric, user interaction is required (UI:R) and privileges required  is low (PR:L). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** An authorized attacker must send the user a malicious file and convince the user to open it.

**According to the CVSS metric, a successful exploitation could lead to a scope change (S:C). What does this mean for this vulnerability?** This vulnerability could lead to a contained execution environment escape. Please refer to AppContainer Isolation for more information.

**According to the CVSS metric, user interaction is required (UI:R). What interaction would the user have to do?** This vulnerability could be triggered when a user connects a Windows client to a malicious server.

**How could an attacker exploit the vulnerability?** To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would need to send a specially crafted malicious MSMQ packet to a MSMQ server. This could result in remote code execution on the server side.

**According to the CVSS metric, the attack complexity is high (AC:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires an attacker to win a race condition.
