Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
The Module-Signature module for Perl has insufficient path checks, |
19 |
allowing a remote attacker to execute arbitrary Perl code. |
20 |
|
21 |
Background |
22 |
========== |
23 |
|
24 |
The Perl Module::Signature module adds signing capabilities to CPAN |
25 |
modules. |
26 |
|
27 |
Affected packages |
28 |
================= |
29 |
|
30 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
31 |
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected |
32 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
33 |
1 dev-perl/Module-Signature |
34 |
< 0.720.0 >= 0.720.0 |
35 |
|
36 |
Description |
37 |
=========== |
38 |
|
39 |
The 'cpansign verify' command will automatically download keys and use |
40 |
them to check the signature of CPAN packages via the SIGNATURE file. If |
41 |
an attacker were to replace this (SHA1) with a special unknown cipher |
42 |
(e.g. 'Special') and were to include in the distribution a |
43 |
'Digest/Special.pm', the code in this Perl module would be executed |
44 |
when 'cpansign -verify' is run. |
45 |
|
46 |
Impact |
47 |
====== |
48 |
|
49 |
A remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the |
50 |
privileges of the process. |
51 |
|
52 |
Workaround |
53 |
========== |
54 |
|
55 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
56 |
|
57 |
Resolution |
58 |
========== |
59 |
|
60 |
All users of the Module-Signature Perl module should upgrade to the |
61 |
latest version: |
62 |
|
63 |
# emerge --sync |
64 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot -v ">=dev-perl/Module-Signature-0.720.0" |
65 |
