<title>Davfs2, lvm-user: Insecure tempfile handling</title>
|
|
<synopsis>
|
|
Davfs2 and the lvmcreate_initrd script (included in the lvm-user package)
|
|
are both vulnerable to symlink attacks, potentially allowing a local user
|
|
to overwrite arbitrary files with the rights of the user running them.

Davfs2 is a file system driver that allows you to mount a WebDAV
|
|
server as a local disk drive. lvm-user is a package providing userland
|
|
utilities for LVM (Logical Volume Management) 1.x features.

Florian Schilhabel from the Gentoo Linux Security Audit Team found
|
|
that Davfs2 insecurely created .pid files in /tmp. Furthermore, Trustix
|
|
Secure Linux found that the lvmcreate_initrd script, included in the
|
|
lvm-user Gentoo package, also creates temporary files in
|
|
world-writeable directories with predictable names.

<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A local attacker could create symbolic links in the temporary
|
|
files directory, pointing to a valid file somewhere on the filesystem.
|
|
When Davfs2 or lvmcreate_initrd is called, this would result in the
|
|
file being overwritten with the rights of the user running the
|
|
software, which could be the root user.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All Davfs2 users should upgrade to the latest version:
|

</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-fs/davfs2-0.2.2-r1"</code>

All lvm-user users should upgrade to the latest version:
