Descriptions
The Gentoo app-backup/burp package before 2.1.32 sets the ownership of the PID file directory to the burp 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.
El paquete app-backup/burp de Gentoo, en versiones anteriores a la 2.1.32, establece la propiedad del directorio de archivos PID en la cuenta burp, lo que podría permitir que usuarios locales finalicen procesos arbitrarios aprovechando el acceso a esta cuenta para modificar archivos PID antes de que un script root envíe un SIGKILL.
Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in BURP's Gentoo ebuild, the worst of which could lead to root privilege escalation. Versions less than 2.1.32 are affected.
