|
|
monitoring of processes, files, directories and devices on a Unix system.

<description>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Monit has several vulnerabilities in its HTTP interface : a buffer overflow
|
|
vulnerability in the authentication handling code and a off-by-one error in
|
|
the POST method handling code.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</description>
|
|
<impact type="high">
|
|
<p>
|
|
An attacker may exploit the off-by-one error to crash the Monit daemon and
|
|
create a denial of service condition, or cause a buffer overflow that would
|
|
allow arbitrary code to be executed with root privileges.
|
|

</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
A workaround is not currently known for this issue. All users are advised

</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
