Descriptions
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, as demonstrated by openldap-initscript.
slapd en OpenLDAP en su versión 2.4.45 y anteriores crea un archivo PID tras eliminar privilegios a una cuenta no-root, lo que podría permitir que usuarios locales terminen procesos arbitrarios aprovechando el acceso a esta cuenta no-root para modificar el archivo PID antes de que un script root ejecute un comando "kill `cat /pathname`". Esto se ha demostrado con openldap-initscript.
