  <description>
    <p>It was discovered that Gentoo’s default MUNGE installation suffered
      from a privilege escalation vulnerability (munge user to root) due to
      improper permissions and a runscript which called chown() on a user
      controlled file.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="high">
    <p>A local attacker, who either is already MUNGE’s system user or belongs
      to MUNGE’s group, could potentially escalate privileges.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>All MUNGE users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=sys-auth/munge-0.5.10-r2"
    </code>
