Package: monkey
Version: 0.9.3-1
Severity: grave
Tags: security
Justification: user security hole
The Monkey webserver retains RUID/RGID root so that it can regain root as
needed to perform privileged operations. Unfortunately, monkey does not drop
RUID/RGID root before executing CGI scripts. This allows any user with write
access to a cgi-bin directory to gain local root. It would also allow a remote
attacker to do the same in combination with a CGI/PHP script that has any
remote code execution bug.
