[GLSA-200611-14] TORQUE: Insecure temproary file creation |
||

TORQUE: Insecure temproary file creation Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200611-14 (TORQUE: Insecure temproary file creation) TORQUE creates temporary files with predictable names. Please note that the TORQUE package shipped in Gentoo Portage is not vulnerable in the default configuration. Only systems with more permissive access rights to the spool directory are vulnerable. Impact A local attacker could create links in the temporary file directory, pointing to a valid file somewhere on the filesystem. This could lead to the execution of arbitrary code with elevated rights. Workaround Ensure that untrusted users don't have write access to the spool directory. References: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-5677 Solution: All TORQUE users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-cluster/torque-2.1.2-r2" Network Security Threat Level: High Networks Security ID: Vulnerability Assessment Copyright: (C) 2006 Michel Arboi |
