Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|

Gentoo's MUNGE ebuilds are vulnerable to privilege escalation due to |
19 |

|
21 |
Background |
22 |

23 |
|
24 |
An authentication service for creating and validating credentials. |

Description |
35 |
=========== |
36 |
|
37 |
It was discovered that Gentoo's default MUNGE installation suffered |
38 |
from a privilege escalation vulnerability (munge user to root) due to |
39 |
improper permissions and a runscript which called chown() on a user |
40 |
controlled file. |
41 |
|
42 |
Impact |
43 |
====== |
44 |
|
45 |
A local attacker, who either is already MUNGE's system user or belongs |
46 |
to MUNGE's group, could potentially escalate privileges. |
47 |
|
48 |
Workaround |
49 |
========== |
50 |
|
51 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
52 |
|
53 |
Resolution |
54 |
========== |
55 |
|
56 |
All MUNGE users should upgrade to the latest version: |
57 |
|
58 |
# emerge --sync |
59 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-auth/munge-0.5.10-r2" |
