Known exploited

CISA added this to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog on 20 Oct 2022 and links it to ransomware activity. US federal agencies had to remediate by 10 Nov 2022, a deadline that has passed.

Required action. Apply updates per vendor instructions.

Description

An issue was discovered in Zimbra Collaboration (ZCS) 8.8.15 and 9.0. An attacker can upload arbitrary files through amavis via a cpio loophole (extraction to /opt/zimbra/jetty/webapps/zimbra/public) that can lead to incorrect access to any other user accounts. Zimbra recommends pax over cpio. Also, pax is in the prerequisites of Zimbra on Ubuntu; however, pax is no longer part of a default Red Hat installation after RHEL 6 (or CentOS 6). Once pax is installed, amavis automatically prefers it over cpio.
