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.

Christey> In addition to the public statement made to Bugtraq, David
F. Skoll, the developer of pppoe, says:
>CVE-2004-0564 is a
>bogus "vulnerability". rp-pppoe is NOT meant to be installed
>setuid-root. One might as well file a "vulnerability" on "cat"
>because if "cat" is setuid-root, then an "attacker" can read any file
>on the system.
>
>This vulnerability is more properly a Debian vulnerability because
>Debian ... insecurely installs rp-pppoe suid-root.
>
>Please add my comments to the "Comments" field of the CVE; I don't think
>it should be blessed with an official listing.
