Description

Analog contains a flaw that allows a local user to create a denial of service. The issue is due to the anlgform.pl (CGI front end to the Analog package) not preventing all privileged commands from being run by untrusted users. If an attacker uses the PROGRESSFREQ command they can set updates to be written very frequently, filling up the web server error log and exhausting disk space.

Classification

Attack Type: Denial of Service
Impact: Loss of Availability

Technical

This vulnerability only affects users who have installed the optional form interface to analog, anlgform.pl, and made it available to untrusted users.

Solution

Upgrade to version 5.23 or higher, as it has been reported to fix this
vulnerability. An upgrade is required as there are no known workarounds.
