Buffer Overflow Vulnerability in LiteSpeed OpenLiteSpeed Server

CVE-2018-19792 · MEDIUM Severity

AV:L/AC:L/AU:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

The server in LiteSpeed OpenLiteSpeed before 1.5.0 RC6 allows local users to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact by creating a symlink through which the openlitespeed program can be invoked with a long command name (involving ../ characters), which is mishandled in the LshttpdMain::getServerRootFromExecutablePath function.
