CVE-2013-7135 (2014-01-28)

The Proc::Daemon module 0.14 for Perl uses world-writable permissions for a file that stores a process ID, which allows local users to have an unspecified impact by modifying this file.

Changes for version 0.13

  • Add ability to define the user identifier for the daemon if you want to run it under other user then the parent (request from Holger Gläss).
  • Add <eval> and <warn> for OS not supporting POSIX::setsid (e.g. Windows).
  • Updated the documentation.

Modules

Run Perl program(s) as a daemon process.
