Hi, 2013/6/14 Christey, Steven M. <coley () mitre org>:
Felipe, Sorry if this is a dumb question. If you are using "file descriptor leak" in the sense of "malicious parties can directly access the file descriptor" - then that doesn't seem to be the case here, because permissions are limited only to you. If you are using "file descriptor leak" in the sense of "the program does not close a file after opening it, consuming too many file descriptors," then how can a program take control of Monkey HTTPD? - Steve
Actually the server is running using my user, because this you see my name as user there. I just did a test running the server as root, it used the user in the configuration file, but the cgi program still using the same user than the server. On my PoC (which uses leaked networkd socket fd to accepts connections and write to them) I just was able to write the response to the next requests instead of the HTTPD server.
