Discussion

Debian Linux Mason Init.d Firewall Loading Failure Vulnerability

The Debian Linux Mason package is prone to an issue that may cause the firewall not to load at system startup. A startup script is missing from the installation package which performs a required function.

A false sense of security is held by the application owner when the affected computer is restarted.

A remote attacker may exploit this configuration error by connecting to ports that would otherwise be remotely unavailable.
