Package: monkey Version: 0.9.3-1 Severity: grave Tags: security Justification: user security hole
The Monkey webserver retains RUID/RGID root so that it can regain root as needed to perform privileged operations. Unfortunately, monkey does not drop RUID/RGID root before executing CGI scripts. This allows any user with write access to a cgi-bin directory to gain local root. It would also allow a remote attacker to do the same in combination with a CGI/PHP script that has any remote code execution bug. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
