Descriptions

htpasswd, as used in Acme thttpd 2.25b and possibly other products such as Apache, might allow local users to gain privileges via shell metacharacters in a command line argument, which is used in a call to the system function. NOTE: since htpasswd is normally installed as a non-setuid program, and the exploit is through command line options, perhaps this issue should not be included in CVE. However, if there are some typical or recommended configurations that use htpasswd with sudo privileges, or common products that access htpasswd remotely, then perhaps it should be included.

htpasswd, como se utiliza en Acme thttpd 2.25b y posiblemente otros productos tales como Apache, podrían permitir a usuarios locales obtener privilegios a través de metacaracteres de shell en un argumento de línea de comando, lo que se utiliza en una llamada a la función del sistema. NOTA: debido a que htpasswd normalmente es instalado como un programa no setuid y la explotación es a través de las opciones de línea de comando, quizás esta cuestión debería no incluirse en la CVE. Sin embargo, si hay algunas configuraciones típicas o recomendadas que utilizan htpasswd con privilegios de sudo o productos comunes que acceden remotamente a a htpasswd, entonces tal vez debería ser incluido.

m-privacy TightGate-Pro suffers from code execution, insecure permissions, deletion mitigation, and outdated server vulnerabilities.
