  <title>Net-SNMP: Insecure RPATH</title>
  <synopsis>
    The Gentoo Net-SNMP package may provide Perl modules containing an insecure
    DT_RPATH, potentially allowing privilege escalation.

    Net-SNMP is a suite of applications used to implement the Simple
    Network Management Protocol.

  <description>
    <p>
    James Cloos reported that Perl modules from the Net-SNMP package look
    for libraries in an untrusted location. This is due to a flaw in the
    Gentoo package, and not the Net-SNMP suite.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A local attacker (member of the portage group) may be able to create a
    shared object that would be loaded by the Net-SNMP Perl modules,
    executing arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the
    Perl script.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    Limit group portage access to trusted users.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All Net-SNMP users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-analyzer/net-snmp-5.2.1.2-r1"</code>
  </resolution>
