|
Arnaud Giersch discovered that the "add_filename_to_string()" function
|
|
in file intl/gettext/loadmsgcat.c uses an untrusted relative path,
|
|
allowing for a format string attack with a malicious .po file.
|
|

|
|
<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A local attacker could entice a user to run ELinks in a specially
|
|
crafted directory environment containing a malicious ".po" file,
|
|
possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the
|
|
privileges of the user running ELinks.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All ELinks users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-client/elinks-0.11.2-r1"</code>
