BMC PATROL Agent through 20.08.00 allows local privilege escalation via vectors involving pconfig +RESTART -host.

An issue was discovered in BMC Patrol Agent 9.0.10i. Weak execution permissions on the best1collect.exe SUID binary could allow an attacker to elevate his/her privileges to the ones of the "patrol" user by specially crafting a shared library .so file that will be loaded during execution.

An issue was discovered in BMC Patrol Agent 9.0.10i. Weak execution permissions on the PatrolAgent SUID binary could allow an attacker with "patrol" privileges to elevate his/her privileges to the ones of the "root" user by specially crafting a shared library .so file that will be loaded during execution.

By default, BMC PATROL Agent through 11.3.01 uses a static encryption key for encrypting/decrypting user credentials sent over the network to managed PATROL Agent services. If an attacker were able to capture this network traffic, they could decrypt these credentials and use them to execute code or escalate privileges on the network.

Stack-based buffer overflow in bgssdservice.exe in BMC Patrol PerformAgent allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by connecting to TCP port 10128 and sending certain XDR data, which is not properly parsed.
