Descriptions

flower.initd in the Gentoo dev-python/flower package before 0.9.1-r1 for Celery Flower sets PID file ownership 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.

flower.initd en el paquete de Gentoo dev-python/flower en versiones anteriores a la 0.9.1-r1 para Celery Flower establece la propiedad de los archivos PID a una cuenta que no es root, lo que podría permitir que usuarios locales finalicen procesos arbitrarios aprovechando el acceso a esta cuenta que no es root para modificar archivos PID antes de que un script root ejecute un comando "kill `cat /pathname`".
