Description

A flaw was found in the Kea package, where an unprivileged user can instruct Kea to load a hook library from any arbitrary local file. This hook can then be executed using the same privileges that Kea runs under. This vulnerability allows an attacker with access to a local, unprivileged account to introduce a malicious local hook library, which Kea will execute, achieving arbitrary code execution and privilege escalation.
