<synopsis>

Webmin is a web-based system administration console allowing an
|
|
administrator to easily configure servers and other features. Using the
|
|
'buildpkg' FEATURE, or the -b/-B emerge options, Portage can build
|
|
reusable binary packages for any of the packages available through the
|
|
Portage tree.

<p>
|
|
Tavis Ormandy of the Gentoo Linux Security Audit Team discovered that
|
|
the Webmin ebuild contains a design flaw. It imports the encrypted
|
|
local root password into the miniserv.users file before building binary
|
|
packages that include this file.
|
|

|
<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A remote attacker could retrieve Portage-built Webmin binary packages
|
|
and recover the encrypted root password from the build host.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Users who never built or shared a Webmin binary package are unaffected
|
|
by this.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Webmin users should delete any old shared Webmin binary package as soon
|
|
as possible. They should also consider their buildhost root password
|
|
potentially exposed and follow proper audit procedures.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you plan to build binary packages, you should upgrade to the latest
|
|
version:
|
|

<code>
|

# emerge --sync

|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-admin/webmin-1.170-r3"</code>
