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.

Bug#1122176: Should ledgersmb be removed from unstable?
by Helmut Grohne 14 Jan '26

14 Jan '26

Source: ledgersmb Severity: important User: helmutg(a)debian.org Usertags: sidremove Dear maintainer, I suggest removing ledgersmb from Debian for the following reasons: * It accumulated one RC-bug: + #1027472: ledgersmb: upstram says 1.6 is unsupported and insecure. Newer upstream version 1.10 available Last modified: 1 year, 1 month * It is not part of trixie or forky and is not a key package. This bug serves as a pre-removal warning. After one month, the bug will be reassigned to ftp.debian.org to actually request removal of the package. In case the package should be kept in unstable, please evaluate each of the RC-bugs listed above. * If the bug is meant to permanently prevent the package from entering testing or a stable release, but this package should stay part of unstable, please add a usertag: user helmutg(a)debian.org usertags NNN + sidremove-ignore * If the bug no longer applies, please close it. If it is closed, check whether the fixed version is correct and adjust if necessary. * Is the bug really release-critical? If not, please downgrade. * If the bug still applies, please send a status update at least once a year. Once all of the mentioned RC bugs have been acted upon in one way or another, please close this bug. In case the package should be removed from unstable, you may reassign this bug report: Control: severity -1 normal Control: retitle -1 RM: ledgersmb -- RoM; rc-buggy Control: reassign -1 ftp.debian.org Control: affects -1 + src:ledgersmb Alternatively, you may wait a month and have it reassigned. In case you disagree with the above, please add a wontfix tag to this bug. Control: tags -1 + wontfix Doing so will also prevent automatic reassignment. Kind regards A tool for automatically removing packages from unstable This bug report has been automatically filed with little human intervention. If the filing is unclear or in error, don't hesitate to contact Helmut Grohne <helmut(a)subdivi.de> for assistance.
