CVE-2012-10041

WAN Emulator v2.3 contains two unauthenticated command execution vulnerabilities. The result.php script calls shell_exec() with unsanitized input from the pc POST parameter, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as the www-data user. The system also includes a SUID-root binary named dosu, which is vulnerable to command injection via its first argument. An attacker can exploit both flaws in sequence to achieve full remote code execution and escalate privileges to root.

Summary		(es) WAN Emulator v2.3 contiene dos vulnerabilidades de ejecución de comandos no autenticados. El script result.php invoca shell_exec() con una entrada sin depurar del parámetro POST de la computadora, lo que permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar comandos arbitrarios como el usuario www-data. El sistema también incluye un binario SUID-root llamado dosu, vulnerable a la inyección de comandos a través de su primer argumento. Un atacante puede explotar ambas vulnerabilidades consecutivamente para lograr la ejecución completa de código remoto y escalar privilegios a root.
