CVE-2014-1422
5.0 · MEDIUMOverview
CVE-2014-1422 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting canonical trust-store_\(ubuntu\). It was published on July 22, 2020 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.0 (MEDIUM).
This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.0, rated MEDIUM. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.
Technical Description
In Ubuntu's trust-store, if a user revokes location access from an application, the location is still available to the application because the application will honour incorrect, cached permissions. This is because the cache was not ordered by creation time by the Select struct in src/core/trust/impl/sqlite3/store.cpp. Fixed in trust-store (Ubuntu) version 1.1.0+15.04.20150123-0ubuntu1 and trust-store (Ubuntu RTM) version 1.1.0+15.04.20150123~rtm-0ubuntu1.
Remediation
Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from canonical. Update trust-store_\(ubuntu\) to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
