<title>NGINX: Privilege escalation</title>
<synopsis>Gentoo's NGINX ebuilds are vulnerable to privilege escalation due
to the way log files are handled.

<background>
<p>nginx is a robust, small, and high performance HTTP and reverse proxy
server.
</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>It was discovered that Gentoos default NGINX installation applied
similar problematic permissions on “/var/log/nginx” as Debian
(DSA-3701) and is therefore vulnerable to the same attack described in
CVE-2016-1247.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>A local attacker, who either is already NGINXs system user or belongs
to NGINXs group, could potentially escalate privileges.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>Ensure that no untrusted user can create files in directories which are
used by NGINX (or an NGINX vhost) to store log files.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>All NGINX users should upgrade to the latest ebuild revision:</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=www-servers/nginx-1.10.2-r3"
</code>
</resolution>
