A highly privileged user can exploit SUID-root program to escalate his privileges to root on a local Unix system.

SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) - version 16.0, installation makes an entry in the system PATH environment variable in Windows platform which, under certain conditions, allows a Standard User to execute malicious Windows binaries which may lead to privilege escalation on the local system. The issue is with the ASE installer and does not impact other ASE binaries.

In certain situations, an attacker with regular user credentials and local access to an ASE cockpit installation can access sensitive information which appears in the installation log files. This information although sensitive is of limited utility and cannot be used to further access, modify or render unavailable any other information in the cockpit or system. This affects SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise, Versions - 15.7, 16.0.

Under certain conditions the SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise, version 16.0, allows an attacker to access encrypted sensitive and confidential information through publicly readable installation log files leading to a compromise of the installed Cockpit. This compromise could enable the attacker to view, modify and/or make unavailable any data associated with the Cockpit, leading to Information Disclosure.

SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise, version 16.0, allows an authenticated attacker to exploit certain misconfigured endpoints exposed over the adjacent network, to read system administrator password leading to Information Disclosure. This could help the attacker to read/write any data and even stop the server like an administrator.

Under certain conditions SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise (Cockpit), version 16.0, allows an attacker with access to local network, to get sensitive and confidential information, leading to Information Disclosure. It can be used to get user account credentials, tamper with system data and impact system availability.

SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise (Backup Server), version 16.0, does not perform the necessary validation checks for an authenticated user while executing DUMP or LOAD command allowing arbitrary code execution or Code Injection.

Under certain conditions, SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise (XP Server on Windows Platform), versions 15.7, 16.0, does not perform the necessary checks for an authenticated user while executing the extended stored procedure, allowing an attacker to read, modify, delete restricted data on connected servers, leading to Code Injection.

Under certain conditions SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise, versions 15.7, 16.0, allows an attacker to access information which would otherwise be restricted leading to Missing Authorization Check.

Under certain conditions, SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise (Web Services), versions 15.7, 16.0, allows an authenticated user to execute crafted database queries to elevate their privileges, modify database objects, or execute commands they are not otherwise authorized to execute, leading to SQL Injection.
