CVE-2022-37703: n/a vulnerability

CVE-2022-37703: In Amanda 3.5.1, an information leak vulnerability was found in the calcsize SUID binary.

In Amanda 3.5.1, an information leak vulnerability was found in the calcsize SUID binary. An attacker can abuse this vulnerability to know if a directory exists or not anywhere in the fs. The binary will use `opendir()` as root directly without checking the path, letting the attacker provide an arbitrary path.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2022-37703 is an information leak in Amanda 3.5.1's SUID calcsize utility. A local user may be able to test whether directories exist anywhere on the filesystem because the utility opens attacker-supplied paths with root privileges. Sources do not show code execution, privilege escalation, or confirmed active exploitation. Exposure is most relevant on systems with Amanda 3.5.1 or vulnerable distribution packages installed and the calcsize binary present with SUID privileges. This appears local rather than remotely reachable from the provided evidence. Prioritize within normal vulnerability remediation cycles for servers using Amanda. Escalate if Amanda runs on shared multi-user hosts, backup infrastructure, or systems where directory existence could reveal sensitive operational information. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Amanda through your operating system vendor's security packages.; Review Fedora and Debian advisories for fixed package availability.; Check Amanda upstream release notes, including community 3.5.3..
