CVE-2014-0476

Publication date 4 June 2014

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

The slapper function in chkrootkit before 0.50 does not properly quote file paths, which allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a Trojan horse executable. NOTE: this is only a vulnerability when /tmp is not mounted with the noexec option.
