Vulnerability CVE-2017-14609
Published: 2017-09-20 Modified: 2017-09-21
| Description: |
The server daemons in Kannel 1.5.0 and earlier create a PID file after dropping privileges to a non-root account, which might allow local users to kill arbitrary processes by leveraging access to this non-root account for PID file modification before a root script executes a "kill `cat /pathname`" command, as demonstrated by bearerbox. |
