CVE-2004-1117

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

The init scripts in ChessBrain 20407 and earlier execute user-owned programs with root privileges, which allows local users to gain privileges by modifying the programs.

Risk Assessment

The risk is that a local user can gain full control over the system by executing a modified program with administrator privileges.

Recommendation

Update ChessBrain to a newer version where init scripts do not execute user programs with elevated privileges, or manually modify the scripts to run only trusted programs.
