|
| 20 |
"tcptraceroute 1.4 and earlier does not fully drop privileges after |
| 21 |
obtaining a file descriptor for capturing packets, which may allow |
| 22 |
local users to gain access to the descriptor via a separate |
| 23 |
vulnerability in tcptraceroute." |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
SOLUTION |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
It is recommended that all Gentoo Linux users who are running |
| 28 |
net-analyzer/tcptraceroute upgrade to tcptraceroute-1.4-r1 as follows |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
emerge sync |

emerge tcptraceroute |
| 32 |
emerge clean |
