CVE-2007-1507
CWE-16Published: March 20, 2007· Updated: Jun 16, 2026
7.5
CVSS v3.1
Official Description
The default configuration in OpenAFS 1.4.x before 1.4.4 and 1.5.x before 1.5.17 supports setuid programs within the local cell, which might allow attackers to gain privileges by spoofing a response to an AFS cache manager FetchStatus request, and setting setuid and root ownership for files in the cache.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2007-1507 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
