CVE-2017-18284: Burp Project Burp

High severity, CVSS 7.1. EPSS: 0.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The Gentoo app-backup/burp package before 2.1.32 sets the ownership of the PID file directory to the burp account, which might allow local users to kill arbitrary processes by leveraging access to this account for PID file modification before a root script sends a SIGKILL.

Affected products

• Burp Project Burp: before 2.1.32 (fixed in 2.1.32)
