Message-ID: <42AB3173.5080308@gentoo.org> Date: Sun Jul 17 14:11:05 2005 From: koon at gentoo.org (Thierry Carrez) Subject: [gentoo-announce] [ GLSA 200506-10 ] LutelWall: Insecure temporary file creation - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 200506-10 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - http://security.gentoo.org/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Severity: Normal Title: LutelWall: Insecure temporary file creation Date: June 11, 2005 Bugs: #95378 ID: 200506-10 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Synopsis ======== LutelWall is vulnerable to symlink attacks, potentially allowing a local user to overwrite arbitrary files. Background ========== LutelWall is a high-level Linux firewall configuration tool. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 net-firewall/lutelwall < 0.98 >= 0.98 Description =========== Eric Romang has discovered that the new_version_check() function in LutelWall insecurely creates a temporary file when updating to a new version. Impact ====== A local attacker could create symbolic links in the temporary file directory, pointing to a valid file somewhere on the filesystem. When the update script is executed (usually by the root user), this would result in the file being overwritten with the rights of this user. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All LutelWall users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-firewall/lutelwall-0.98" References ========== [ 1 ] CAN-2005-1879 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-1879 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200506-10.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
