QNAP Escalation Vulnerability

QNAP, the maker of network-attached storage (NAS) appliances, has recently released a warning statement that its products might be vulnerable to recent Linux vulnerabilities that could be exploited to gain access to the affected systems.

The vulnerability has been tracked as CVE-2022-0847, and this security flaw is a high severity flaw. Due to this critical vulnerability, several QNAP products are affected, and here they are:-

  • All QNAP x86-based NAS
  • Some QNAP ARM-based NAS running QTS 5.0.x and QuTS hero h5.0.x

Here is what the company stated:-

“A local privilege escalation vulnerability, also known as “dirty pipe,” has been reported to affect the Linux kernel on QNAP NAS running QTS 5.0.x and QuTS hero h5.0.x. If exploited, this vulnerability allows an unprivileged user to gain administrator privileges and inject malicious code.”
