CVE-2018-19792
Last modified
CVE-2018-19792 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. 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.. EPSS estimates a 0.43% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
