Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
Multiple vulnerabilities were found in glibc, the worst of which |
19 |
allowing local attackers to execute arbitrary code as root. |
20 |
|
21 |
Background |
22 |
========== |
23 |
|
24 |
The GNU C library is the standard C library used by Gentoo Linux |
25 |

Description |
36 |
=========== |
37 |
|
38 |
Multiple vulnerabilities were found in glibc, amongst others the |
39 |
widely-known recent LD_AUDIT and $ORIGIN issues. For further |
40 |
information please consult the CVE entries referenced below. |
41 |
|
42 |
Impact |
43 |
====== |
44 |
|
45 |
A local attacker could execute arbitrary code as root, cause a Denial |
46 |
of Service, or gain privileges. Additionally, a user-assisted remote |
47 |
attacker could cause the execution of arbitrary code, and a |
48 |
context-dependent attacker could cause a Denial of Service. |
49 |
|
50 |
Workaround |
51 |
========== |
52 |
|
53 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
54 |
|
55 |
Resolution |
56 |
========== |
57 |
|
58 |
All GNU C library users should upgrade to the latest version: |
59 |
|
60 |
# emerge --sync |
61 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-libs/glibc-2.11.2-r3" |
