webapp-config is a Gentoo Linux utility to help manage the installation
of web-based applications.

<description>
<p>
Eric Romang discovered webapp-config uses a predictable temporary
filename while processing certain options, resulting in a race
condition.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
Successful exploitation of the race condition would allow an attacker
to disrupt the operation of webapp-config, or execute arbitrary shell
commands with the privileges of the user running webapp-config. A local
attacker could use a symlink attack to create or overwrite files with
the permissions of the user running webapp-config.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All webapp-config users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=app-admin/webapp-config-1.11&quot;</code>
