CVE-2013-7135 (2014-01-28)

The Proc::Daemon module 0.14 for Perl uses world-writable permissions for a file that stores a process ID, which allows local users to have an unspecified impact by modifying this file.

Changes for version 0.02

  • init() function superceded by Init() function.
  • All open files are closed during daemonization.
  • A double fork is now down to avoid the potential of acquiring a controlling terminal.
  • Added Fork() and OpenMax() functions.
