<title>webapp-config: Insecure temporary file handling</title>
|
|
<synopsis>
|
|

|
|

|
|
commands.

|
|
of web-based applications.

<description>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Eric Romang discovered webapp-config uses a predictable temporary
|
|
filename while processing certain options, resulting in a race
|
|
condition.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</description>
|
|
<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
Successful exploitation of the race condition would allow an attacker
|
|
to disrupt the operation of webapp-config, or execute arbitrary shell
|
|
commands with the privileges of the user running webapp-config. A local
|
|
attacker could use a symlink attack to create or overwrite files with
|
|
the permissions of the user running webapp-config.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All webapp-config users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-admin/webapp-config-1.11"</code>
