Severity: MODERATE

Description:

The RPM for Apache-SSL distributed with Trustix Secure Linux was misconfigured such that the httpsd binary installed world-writable by default. As the daemon runs as root, this could easily lead to privelege escalation for local users.

Affected Products:

  • Trustix Trustix Secure Linux 1.1.0
