CVE-2017-14609 -- kannelID: oval:org.secpod.oval:def:1901491 | Date: (C)2019-06-03 (M)2023-12-20 |
Class: VULNERABILITY | Family: unix |
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.
