Teradata Virtual Machine Community Edition v15.10's perl script /opt/teradata/gsctools/bin/t2a.pl creates files in /tmp in an insecure manner, this may lead to elevated code execution.

Teradata Viewpoint before 14.0 and 16.20.00.02-b80 contains a hardcoded password of TDv1i2e3w4 for the viewpoint database account (in viewpoint-portal\conf\server.xml) that could potentially be exploited by malicious users to compromise the affected system.

Teradata Virtual Machine Community Edition v15.10 has insecure file permissions on /etc/luminex/pkgmgr. These could allow a local user to modify its contents and execute commands as root.

The installation script studioexpressinstall for Teradata Studio Express 15.12.00.00 creates files in /tmp insecurely. A malicious local user could create a symlink in /tmp and possibly clobber system files or perhaps elevate privileges.

Teradata Gateway before 15.00.03.02-1 and 15.10.x before 15.10.00.01-1 and TD Express before 15.00.02.08Sles10 and 15.00.02.08Sles11 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (database crash) via a malformed CONFIG REQUEST message.

Teradata Vantage Editor 1.0.1 is mostly intended for SQL database access and docs.teradata.com access, but provides unintended functionality (including Chromium Developer Tools) that can result in a client user accessing arbitrary remote websites.

Certain Teradata account-handling code through 2024-11-04, used with SUSE Enterprise Linux Server, mismanages groups. Specifically, when there is an operating system move from SUSE Enterprise Linux Server (SLES) 12 Service Pack (SP) 2 or 3 to SLES 15 SP2 on Teradata Database systems, some service/system user accounts, and possibly systems administrator created user accounts, are incorrectly assigned to groups that allow higher system-level privileges than intended for those user accounts. Depending on the usage of these accounts, this may lead to full system compromise.
