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 |
Perl is a stable, cross-platform programming language created by Larry |
25 |
Wall. Qt-UnixODBC is an ODBC library for Qt. CMake is a cross-platform |
26 |
build environment. |

Description |
44 |
=========== |
45 |
|
46 |
Some packages may introduce insecure paths into the list of directories |
47 |
that are searched for libraries at runtime. Furthermore, packages |
48 |
depending on the MakeMaker Perl module for build configuration may have |
49 |
incorrectly copied the LD_RUN_PATH into the DT_RPATH. |
50 |
|
51 |
Impact |
52 |
====== |
53 |
|
54 |
A local attacker, who is a member of the "portage" group, could create |
55 |
a malicious shared object in the Portage temporary build directory that |
56 |
would be loaded at runtime by a dependent executable, potentially |
57 |
resulting in privilege escalation. |
58 |
|
59 |
Workaround |
60 |
========== |
61 |
|
62 |
Only grant "portage" group rights to trusted users. |
63 |
|
64 |
Resolution |
65 |
========== |
66 |
|
67 |
All Perl users should upgrade to the latest version: |
68 |
|
69 |
# emerge --sync |
70 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose dev-lang/perl |
71 |
|
72 |
All Qt-UnixODBC users should upgrade to the latest version: |
73 |
|
74 |
# emerge --sync |
75 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-db/qt-unixodbc-3.3.4-r1" |
76 |
|
77 |
All CMake users should upgrade to the latest version: |
78 |
|
79 |
# emerge --sync |
80 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose dev-util/cmake |
81 |
