CVE-2006-7098

Status: ModifiedMedium (6.6)—💥 Exploit

The Debian GNU/Linux 033_-F_NO_SETSID patch for the Apache HTTP Server 1.3.34-4 does not properly disassociate httpd from a controlling tty when httpd is started interactively, which allows local users to gain privileges to that tty via a CGI program that calls the TIOCSTI ioctl.

CVSS

Version: 2.0
Vector: AV:L/AC:M/Au:S/C:C/I:C/A:C
Base score: 6.6

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.58%
Percentile among all scored CVEs: 46
Score date: 10/15/2026

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).

💥 Public exploits

Exploit code or detection templates are publicly available. This is not the same as confirmed active exploitation (KEV), but it raises the risk: patch with priority.
