<title>LSAT: Insecure temporary file creation</title>
|
|
<synopsis>
|
|

|
|

The Linux Security Auditing Tool (LSAT) is a post install security
|
|
auditor which checks many system configurations and local network
|
|
settings on the system for common security or configuration errors and
|
|
for packages that are not needed.

|
LSAT insecurely writes in /tmp with a predictable filename.

<impact type="low">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A local attacker could create symbolic links in the temporary files
|
|
directory, pointing to a valid file somewhere on the filesystem. When
|
|
the LSAT script is executed, this would result in the file being
|
|
overwritten with the rights of the user running the software, which
|
|
could be the root user.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All lsat users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|

|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-admin/lsat-0.9.5"</code>
