<affected>
<package name="net-firewall/shorewall" auto="yes" arch="*">
<unaffected range="ge">1.4.10f</unaffected>
<vulnerable range="le">1.4.10c</vulnerable>

<background>
<p>
Shorewall is a high level tool for configuring Netfilter, the firewall
facility included in the Linux Kernel.
</p>

<description>
<p>
Shorewall uses temporary files and directories in an insecure manner. A
local user could create symbolic links at specific locations,
eventually overwriting other files on the filesystem with the rights of
the shorewall process.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to overwrite arbitrary
system files with root privileges, resulting in Denial of Service or
further exploitation.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time. All users should upgrade to
the latest available version of Shorewall.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All users should upgrade to the latest available version of Shorewall,
as follows:
</p>
<code>
# emerge sync
# emerge -pv &quot;&gt;=net-firewall/shorewall-1.4.10f&quot;
# emerge &quot;&gt;=net-firewall/shorewall-1.4.10f&quot;</code>
</resolution>
