Description
IPCop (aka IPCop Firewall) before 1.4.10 has world-readable permissions for the backup.key file, which might allow local users to overwrite system configuration files and gain privileges by creating a malicious encrypted backup archive owned by "nobody", then executing ipcoprscfg to restore from this backup.
