The installer sets too relaxed permissions on /usr/local/WowzaStreamingEngine/bin/* core program files. By injecting a payload into one of those files, it will run with the same privileges as the Wowza server, root. For example, /usr/local/WowzaStreamingEngine/bin/tune.sh could be replaced with a Trojan horse. This issue was resolved in Wowza Streaming Engine 4.8.5." } ] }, "problemtype": { "problemtype_data": [ { "description": [ { "lang": "eng", "value": "n/a" } ] } ] }, "references": { "reference_data": [ { "url": "https://www.wowza.com/pricing/installer", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://www.wowza.com/pricing/installer" }, { "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://github.com/DrunkenShells/Disclosures/tree/master/CVE-2019-7656-PrivEscal-Wowza", "url": "https://github.com/DrunkenShells/Disclosures/tree/master/CVE-2019-7656-PrivEscal-Wowza" }, { "refsource": "CONFIRM", "name": "https://www.wowza.com/docs/wowza-streaming-engine-4-8-5-release-notes", "url": "https://www.wowza.com/docs/wowza-streaming-engine-4-8-5-release-notes" }, { "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/WowzaMediaSystems/public_cve/main/wowza-streaming-engine/CVE-2019-7656.txt", "url": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/WowzaMediaSystems/public_cve/main/wowza-streaming-engine/CVE-2019-7656.txt" } ] } }
