Secunia Security Advisory 17513

Secunia Security Advisory – A vulnerability and a security issue have been reported in IPCop, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service), and by malicious, local users to gain access to potentially sensitive information. 1) A vulnerability in Squid may be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS. For more information: SA17271 2) The key used to encrypt web backup files is stored in /var/ipcop/backup/ and is world-readable. This can potentially be exploited by malicious users to decrypt backup files, or by the nobody user to overwrite arbitrary files by creating malicious backup files and restoring them. A race condition that can potentially allow the nobody user to replace the backup file before it is encrypted has also been fixed.
