Last modified Jun 17, 2026

CVE-2015-0859 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The Debian build procedure for the smokeping package in wheezy before 2.6.8-2+deb7u1 and jessie before 2.6.9-1+deb8u1 does not properly configure the way Apache httpd passes arguments to smokeping_cgi, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted CGI arguments.. EPSS estimates a 2.33% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
