CVE-2015-0859: Debian Linux

High severity, CVSS 7.5. EPSS: 2.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The Debian build procedure for the smokeping package in wheezy before 2.6.8-2+deb7u1 and jessie before 2.6.9-1+deb8u1 does not properly configure the way Apache httpd passes arguments to smokeping_cgi, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted CGI arguments.

Affected products

  • Debian Debian Linux: version 7.0 only; version 8.0 only
