Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities in the iallocator framework in Ganeti 1.2.4 through 1.2.8, 2.0.0 through 2.0.4, and 2.1.0 before 2.1.0~rc2 allow (1) remote attackers to execute arbitrary programs via a crafted external script name supplied through the HTTP remote API (RAPI) and allow (2) local users to execute arbitrary programs and gain privileges via a crafted external script name supplied through a gnt-* command, related to "path sanitization errors."
CVE-2009-4261

- EG Risk
- 0EG Risk 0/100
EG Risk is EchelonGraph's 0–100 priority score. It fuses intrinsic severity with real-world exploitation and automatability, so you can rank equal-severity CVEs and fix the most dangerous first. Higher = act sooner. It is distinct from the 0–10 EG Score, which measures severity.
