[GLSA-200410-10] gettext: Insecure temporary file handling |
||
gettext: Insecure temporary file handling Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200410-10 (gettext: Insecure temporary file handling) gettext insecurely creates temporary files in world-writeable directories with predictable names. Impact A local attacker could create symbolic links in the temporary files directory, pointing to a valid file somewhere on the filesystem. When gettext is called, this would result in file access with the rights of the user running the utility, which could be the root user. Workaround There is no known workaround at this time. References: http://www.securityfocus.com/advisories/7263 Solution: All gettext users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-devel/gettext-0.14.1-r1" Network Security Threat Level: Low Networks Security ID: Vulnerability Assessment Copyright: (C) 2005 Michel Arboi |
