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

|
|
attacks, potentially allowing a local user to overwrite arbitrary files.

The openMosixview package contains several tools used to manage
|
|
openMosix clusters, including openMosixview (the main monitoring and
|
|
administration application) and openMosixcollector (a daemon collecting
|
|
cluster and node information).

<p>
|
|
Gangstuck and Psirac from Rexotec discovered that openMosixview
|
|
insecurely creates several temporary files with predictable filenames.

<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 openMosixView or the openMosixcollector daemon runs, this would
|
|
result in the file being overwritten with the rights of the user
|
|
running the utility, which could be the root user.
|
|

</impact>

<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.

<resolution>

|
|
All openMosixview users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-cluster/openmosixview-1.5-r1"</code>
