CVE-2013-4559

Disclosure Date: November 20, 2013
Add MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques that apply to this CVE.

Description

lighttpd before 1.4.33 does not check the return value of the (1) setuid, (2) setgid, or (3) setgroups functions, which might cause lighttpd to run as root if it is restarted and allows remote attackers to gain privileges, as demonstrated by multiple calls to the clone function that cause setuid to fail when the user process limit is reached.
