Vulnerability details
The vulnerability allows a remote user to execute arbitrary code as root.
The vulnerability exists due to improper neutralization of single quotes and insufficient reserved-variable validation in update_object_value() and parse_object_kv_list_non_eval() when a crafted custom document root is written to and re-parsed from a web configuration file. A remote user can set a crafted document root and trigger the Search feature to execute an attacker-controlled program as root.
The affected Search path invokes the column command without an absolute path after the configuration values are re-parsed.
