2.1 LOW — AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N

Description

Roaring Penguin pppoe (rp-ppoe), if installed or configured to run setuid root contrary to its design, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files. NOTE: the developer has publicly disputed the claim that this is a vulnerability because pppoe "is NOT designed to run setuid-root." Therefore this identifier applies *only* to those configurations and installations under which pppoe is run setuid root despite the developer's warnings.

Affected configurations

• roaring penguin pppoe 3.0 • roaring penguin pppoe 3.3 • roaring penguin pppoe 3.5 • debian debian linux 3.0
