Vulnerability from variot

A privilege escalation vulnerability in FortiClient for Linux 6.2.1 and below may allow a user with low privilege to overwrite system files as root with arbitrary content through system backup file via specially crafted "BackupConfig" type IPC client requests to the fctsched process. Further more, FortiClient for Linux 6.2.2 and below allow low privilege user write the system backup file under root privilege through GUI thus can cause root system file overwrite. Linux for FortiClient Exists in a privilege management vulnerability.Information is tampered with and service operation is interrupted (DoS) It may be put into a state. Fortinet FortiClient is a mobile terminal security solution developed by Fortinet. The solution provides IPsec and SSL encryption, WAN optimization, endpoint compliance, and two-factor authentication when connected to FortiGate firewall appliances. Security vulnerabilities exist in Fortinet FortiClient 6.2.1 and earlier versions based on the Linux platform. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to elevate privileges through IPC sockets
