Chris Howells reported that policyd-weight creates and uses the |
46 |
"/tmp/.policyd-weight/" directory in an insecure manner. |

<impact type="normal"> |
50 |
<p> |
51 |
A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to delete arbitrary |
52 |
files or change the ownership to the "polw" user via symlink attacks. |
53 |
</p> |
54 |
</impact> |
55 |
<workaround> |
56 |
<p> |
57 |
Set "<i>$LOCKPATH = '/var/run/policyd-weight/'</i>" manually in |
58 |
"/etc/policyd-weight.conf". |
59 |
</p> |
60 |
</workaround> |
61 |
<resolution> |
62 |
<p> |
63 |
All policyd-weight users should upgrade to the latest version: |
64 |
</p> |
65 |
<code> |
66 |
# emerge --sync |
67 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=mail-filter/policyd-weight-0.1.14.17"</code> |
68 |
<p> |
69 |
This version changes the default path for sockets to |
70 |
"/var/run/policyd-weight", which is only writable by a privileged user. |
71 |
Users need to restart policyd-weight immediately after the upgrade due |
72 |
to this change. |
73 |
</p> |
