<description>

|
<p>
|
|
Tavis Ormandy of the Gentoo Linux Security Audit Team has
|
|
discovered that the pinentry ebuild incorrectly sets the permissions of
|
|
the pinentry binaries upon installation, so that the sgid bit is set
|
|
making them execute with the privileges of group ID 0.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</description>
|
|
<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A user of pinentry could potentially read and overwrite files with
|
|
a group ID of 0.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All pinentry users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-crypt/pinentry-0.7.2-r2"</code>
