CVE-2017-14179

Apport before 2.13 does not properly handle crashes originating from a PID namespace allowing local users to create certain files as root which an attacker could leverage to perform a denial of service via resource exhaustion, possibly gain root privileges, or escape from containers...

UBUNTU-CVE-2017-14681

The daemon in P3Scan 3.0rc1 and earlier creates a p3scan.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 p3scan.pid modification before a root script executes a "kill cat...

DEBIAN-CVE-2017-14159

slapd in OpenLDAP 2.4.45 and earlier creates 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, ...

CVE-2017-13649

UnrealIRCd 4.0.13 and earlier creates 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. NOTE: t...

UBUNTU-CVE-2017-11747

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...

FreeBSD : otrs -- Scheduler Process ID File Access (1e7f0c11-673a-11e5-98c8-60a44c524f57)

The OTRS project reports : An attacker with valid LOCAL credentials could access and manipulate the process ID file for bin/otrs.schduler.pl from the CLI. The Proc::Daemon module 0.14 for Perl uses world-writable permissions for a file that stores a process ID, which allows local users to have an...

AZL-44211 CVE-2015-3310 affecting package ppp for versions less than 2.5.0-1

Buffer overflow in the rcmksid function in plugins/radius/util.c in Paul's PPP Package ppp 2.4.6 and earlier, when the PID for pppd is greater than 65535, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service crash via a start accounting message to the RADIUS server...

libmnl: incorrect validation of netlink message origin allows attackers to spoof netlink messages

The netlinksendmsg function in net/netlink/afnetlink.c in the Linux kernel before 3.5.5 does not validate the dstpid field, which allows local users to have an unspecified impact by spoofing Netlink messages...

MGASA-2013-0275 Updated subversion package fixes security vulnerability.

svnserve takes a --pid-file option which creates a file containing the process id it is running as. It does not take steps to ensure that the file it has been directed at is not a symlink. If the pid file is in a directory writeable by unprivileged users, the destination could be replaced by a...

DEBIAN-CVE-2013-1958

ruby: Properly initialize the random number generator when forking new process

The SecureRandom.randombytes function in lib/securerandom.rb in Ruby before 1.8.7-p352 and 1.9.x before 1.9.2-p290 relies on PID values for initialization, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to predict the result string by leveraging knowledge of random strings obtained in an...
