CVSS v2.0
2.1
Baixa
| Vetor | AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
NCSA Mosaic versions 2.0 and earlier
Description
The issue allows local users to cause a denial of service, also referred to as a "remote control" outage. This is achieved by creating a /tmp/xmosaic.pid file for every possible PID, which leads to the denial of service.
Recommendations
For versions 2.0 and earlier, consider restricting access to the /tmp directory to prevent the creation of multiple /tmp/xmosaic.pid files, thereby minimizing the risk of a denial of service.
