    WebTrends Enterprise Reportig Server ver 1.5 running on Linux or Solaris
    has the following vulnerabilities:
    
    1) If the WebTrends Enterprise Reporting Server is running as root. Due to
    file ownership misconfiguration, it may be possible for local users to gain
    root privileges.
    
    2) WebTrends Enterprise Reporting Server, logs debug information in a world
    readable and writable file. The debug information may include user-names and
    passwords stored in clear text. It may be possible for local users to gain
    unauthorized access to the server as well as to WebTrends administration
    software. Local users can also modify that file, making the auditing
    mechanism unsafe.
    
    3) WebTrends Enterprise Reporting Server, stores its user information in
    files with world read/write permissions. It may be possible for local users
    to gain unauthorized access to the WebTrends administration software, and/or
    create a denial of service.
    
    4) WebTrends Enterprise Reporting Server, stores its profile information in
    files with world read/write permissions. It may be possible for local users
    to create a denial of service.
    
    5) On WebTrends Enterprise Reporting Server, the default installation has
    blank administrator password. A remote user may be able to gain
    administrative priviledges to the WebTrends administration software.
