|
<p>
|
|
Eric Romang discovered that gtkdiskfree insecurely creates a
|
|
predictable temporary file to handle command output.

<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A local attacker could create a symbolic link in the temporary
|
|
files directory, pointing to a valid file somewhere on the filesystem.
|
|
When gtkdiskfree is executed, this would result in the file being
|
|
overwritten with the rights of the user running the application.
|
|
</p>
|

</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All gtkdiskfree users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-admin/gtkdiskfree-1.9.3-r1"</code>
