Kenwood DNR1007XR udhcpd Incorrect Permission Assignment Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of Kenwood DNR1007XR devices. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability.

The specific flaw exists within the udhcpd service. The issue results from incorrect permissions set on a resource used by the service. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute code in the context of root. Was ZDI-CAN-29111.

AnalysisAI

Local privilege escalation in the Kenwood DNR1007XR network video recorder enables an attacker with existing low-privileged code execution to gain root-level access by exploiting incorrectly permissioned resources associated with the udhcpd DHCP service. Discovered by Zero Day Initiative and tracked as ZDI-CAN-29111/ZDI-26-487, the flaw stems from CWE-732 (Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource), granting full C:H/I:H/A:H impact once the prerequisite foothold is established. …
