Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
Multiple packages suffer from RUNPATH issues that may allow users in |
19 |
the "portage" group to escalate privileges. |
20 |
|
21 |
Background |
22 |
========== |
23 |
|
24 |
QDBM is a library of routines for managing a database. ImageMagick is a |
25 |
collection of tools to read, write and manipulate images. GDAL is a |
26 |
geospatial data abstraction library. |

Description |
43 |
=========== |
44 |
|
45 |
Some packages may introduce insecure paths into the list of directories |
46 |
that are searched for libraries at runtime. Furthermore, packages |
47 |
depending on the MakeMaker Perl module for build configuration may have |
48 |
incorrectly copied the LD_RUN_PATH into the DT_RPATH. |
49 |
|
50 |
Impact |
51 |
====== |
52 |
|
53 |
A local attacker, who is a member of the "portage" group, could create |
54 |
a malicious shared object in the Portage temporary build directory that |
55 |
would be loaded at runtime by a dependent executable, potentially |
56 |
resulting in privilege escalation. |
57 |
|
58 |
Workaround |
59 |
========== |
60 |
|
61 |
Only grant "portage" group rights to trusted users. |
62 |
|
63 |
Resolution |
64 |
========== |
65 |
|
66 |
All QDBM users should upgrade to the latest version: |
67 |
|
68 |
# emerge --sync |
69 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-db/qdbm-1.8.33-r2" |
70 |
|
71 |
All ImageMagick users should upgrade to the latest version: |
72 |
|
73 |
# emerge --sync |
74 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-gfx/imagemagick-6.2.4.2-r1" |
75 |
|
76 |
All GDAL users should upgrade to the latest version: |
77 |
|
78 |
# emerge --sync |
79 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose sci-libs/gdal |
80 |
