Package        : needrestart
CVE ID         : CVE-2024-11003 CVE-2024-48990 CVE-2024-48991 CVE-2024-48992

The Qualys Threat Research Unit discovered several local privilege
escalation vulnerabilities in needrestart, a utility to check which
daemons need to be restarted after library upgrades. A local attacker
can execute arbitrary code as root by tricking needrestart into running
the Python interpreter with an attacker-controlled PYTHONPATH
environment variable (CVE-2024-48990) or running the Ruby interpreter
with an attacker-controlled RUBYLIB environment variable
(CVE-2024-48992).  Additionally a local attacker can trick needrestart
into running a fake Python interpreter (CVE-2024-48991) or cause
needrestart to call the Perl module Module::ScanDeps with
attacker-controlled files (CVE-2024-11003).

Details can be found in the Qualys advisory at
https://www.qualys.com/2024/11/19/needrestart/needrestart.txt

For the stable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed in
version 3.6-4+deb12u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your needrestart packages.
