CVE-2024-23831[0]: | LedgerSMB is a free web-based double-entry accounting system. When a | LedgerSMB database administrator has an active session in /setup.pl, | an attacker can trick the admin into clicking on a link which | automatically submits a request to setup.pl without the admin's | consent. This request can be used to create a new user account with | full application (/login.pl) privileges, leading to privilege | escalation. The vulnerability is patched in versions 1.10.30 and | 1.11.9. If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.

Bug#1028924: ledgersmb: Init script calls start-stop-daemon incorrectly, fails to start

Package: ledgersmb Version: 1.6.9+ds-2+deb11u3 Severity: important X-Debbugs-Cc: j-dbug.666.114.1101(a)x.firehead.org Dear Maintainer, I installed LedgerSMB with defaults on Debian-11 with sysvinit (instead of systemd). When I try to start the daemon, it produces the following output: # /etc/init.d/ledgersmb start $Starting ledgersmb: start-stop-daemon: unrecognized option '--interval=5' Try 'start-stop-daemon --help' for more information. # I am not an expert on start-stop-daemon, but looking at the init script, it seems start-stop-daemon is invoked with /usr/bin/start_server as the intended program to run, which then has further arguments for that to start /usr/bin/starman. However the start-stop-daemon invocation lacks a "--start" argument prior to the /usr/bin/start_server, and the "--start" seems to be the norm among other uses of start-stop-daemon in the system's /etc/init.d/* files. So maybe the init script is for some completely different version of start-stop-daemon, or the arguments are really for a different program, or something.
