<description>
<p>It was discovered that Gentoos 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 MUNGEs system user or belongs
to MUNGEs 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>
