id: CVE-2004-2687

info:
  name: Distccd v1 - Remote Code Execution
  author: pussycat0x
  severity: high
  description: |
    distcc 2.x, as used in XCode 1.5 and others, when not configured to restrict access to the server port, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via compilation jobs, which are executed by the server without authorization checks.
  impact: |
    Unauthenticated attackers can execute arbitrary commands with elevated privileges by sending malicious compilation jobs to distcc servers that lack access restrictions.
  remediation: |
    Configure distcc to restrict server port access to authorized clients only, or upgrade to a patched version that includes proper authorization checks.
