<description>
|
||
<p>It was discovered that Gentoo’s Thin ebuild does not properly handle
|
||
its temporary runtime directories. This only affects OpenRC systems, as
|
||
the flaw was exploitable via the init script.

<p>A local attacker could cause denial of service by killing arbitrary

processes.

<workaround>
|

<p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>

</workaround>
|

<resolution>
|
||
<p>Gentoo has discontinued support for Thin. We recommend that users
|
||
unmerge Thin:
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<code>
|
||
# emerge --unmerge "www-servers/thin"
|
||
</code>
|
||
|
||
<p>NOTE: The Gentoo developer(s) maintaining Thin have discontinued support
|
||
at this time. It may be possible that a new Gentoo developer will update
|
||
Thin at a later date. There are many other web servers available in the
|
||
tree in the www-servers category.
