<impact type="normal">
|
|
|
<p>A remote attacker could entice a user to download a specially-crafted
|
|
|
file with an application linked against libwww-perl, which could result
|
|
|
in overwritten files or arbitrary code execution by writing to a dotfile
|
|
|
in the user’s home directory (such as .bashrc). Additionally, a remote
|
|
|
attacker could perform a Man-in-the-Middle attack.
|
|
|

|
|
|
</impact>
|
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
|
<p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
|
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
|
<p>All libwww-perl users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<code>
|
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-perl/libwww-perl-6.30.0"
|
|
|
</code>

|
|
|
already no longer affected by this issue.
