(hhp) NewsUpdate1.1 Advisory (hhp) hhp-ADV#7 by: loophole hhp@hhp.perlx.com 11/4/99 2:14:516am CST. ----------------------------------------------- Alright, there is a fault in NewsUpdate1.1 available at: http://cgi.elitehost.com/ This is yet another piece of software with permission problems. The file 'password.txt' is created and set to mode 644 by newsup.pl, which can be read by anyone. It contains a crypt(3) password that if were to be cracked, could be used on form.htm. With this, you have access to change the servers news html pages to whatever you chose to display (Neat eh? :D). Fix: Change default modes. -hhp-2t0---------------------------------------
