AIDE is an advanced intrusion detection environment. Prior to version 0.19.2, there is an improper output neutralization vulnerability in AIDE. An attacker can craft a malicious filename by including terminal escape sequences to hide the addition or removal of the file from the report and/or tamper with the log output. A local user might exploit this to bypass the AIDE detection of malicious files. Additionally the output of extended attribute key names and symbolic links targets are also not properly neutralized. This issue has been patched in version 0.19.2. A workaround involves configuring AIDE to write the report output to a regular file, redirecting stdout to a regular file, or redirecting the log output written to stderr to a regular file.

AIDE es un entorno avanzado de detección de intrusiones. Antes de la versión 0.19.2, existía una vulnerabilidad de neutralización de salida incorrecta en AIDE. Un atacante podía manipular un nombre de archivo malicioso incluyendo secuencias de escape de terminal para ocultar la adición o eliminación del archivo del informe o manipular la salida del registro. Un usuario local podría aprovechar esto para eludir la detección de archivos maliciosos por parte de AIDE. Además, la salida de nombres de claves de atributos extendidos y enlaces simbólicos tampoco se neutraliza correctamente. Este problema se ha corregido en la versión 0.19.2. Una solución alternativa consiste en configurar AIDE para escribir la salida del informe en un archivo normal, redirigir la salida estándar a un archivo normal o redirigir la salida del registro escrita en la salida estándar a un archivo normal.
