CVE-2017-18240: Improper Input Validation

The Gentoo app-admin/collectd package before 5.7.2-r1 sets the ownership of PID file directory to the collectd account, which might allow local users to kill arbitrary processes by leveraging access to this account for PID file modification before a root script sends a SIGKILL when the service is...

CVE-2017-14609: Improper Initialization

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"...

CVE-2017-14610: Improper Initialization

bareos-dir, bareos-fd, and bareos-sd in bareos-core in Bareos 16.2.6 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 scrip...

CVE-2017-11747

CVE-2017-11747 affects Tinyproxy (1.8.4 and older): main.c creates /run/tinyproxy/tinyproxy.pid after dropping privileges to a non-root account, allowing local users to modify the PID file and potentially kill the process via a root script that executes kill cat /run/tinyproxy/tinyproxy.pid. Seve...

CVE-2017-11747: Improper Privilege Management

main.c in Tinyproxy 1.8.4 and earlier creates a /run/tinyproxy/tinyproxy.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 tinyproxy.pid modification before a root script executes a...

CVE-2001-0040

The CVE concerns apcupsd, where during startup the daemon creates /var/run/apcupsd.pid with world-writable permissions (mode 666). This allows a local attacker to overwrite the PID file with arbitrary process IDs, causing legitimate processes to be killed when apcupsd restarts or stops. The Mandr...

CVE-2000-0880: Undefined Security Weakness

LPPlus creates the lpdprocess file with world-writeable permissions, which allows local users to kill arbitrary processes by specifying an alternate process ID and using the setuid dcclpdshut program to kill the process that was specified in the lpdprocess file...
