Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
OpenLDAP and Gauche suffer from RUNPATH issues that may allow users in |
19 |
the "portage" group to escalate privileges. |
20 |
|
21 |
Background |
22 |
========== |
23 |
|
24 |
OpenLDAP is a suite of LDAP-related application and development tools. |
25 |
Gauche is an R5RS Scheme interpreter. |
26 |
|
27 |

Description |
41 |
=========== |
42 |
|
43 |
Gentoo packaging for OpenLDAP and Gauche may introduce insecure paths |
44 |
into the list of directories that are searched for libraries at |
45 |
runtime. |
46 |
|
47 |
Impact |
48 |
====== |
49 |
|
50 |
A local attacker, who is a member of the "portage" group, could create |
51 |
a malicious shared object in the Portage temporary build directory that |
52 |
would be loaded at runtime by a dependent binary, potentially resulting |
53 |
in privilege escalation. |
54 |
|
55 |
Workaround |
56 |
========== |
57 |
|
58 |
Only grant "portage" group rights to trusted users. |
59 |
|
60 |
Resolution |
61 |
========== |
62 |
|
63 |
All OpenLDAP users should upgrade to the latest version: |
64 |
|
65 |
# emerge --sync |
66 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose net-nds/openldap |
67 |
|
68 |
All Gauche users should upgrade to the latest version: |
69 |
|
70 |
# emerge --sync |
71 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-lang/gauche-0.8.6-r1" |
