<title>ed: Insecure temporary file handling</title>
|
|
<synopsis>
|
|
The ed utility is vulnerable to symlink attacks, potentially allowing a
|
|
local user to overwrite or change rights on arbitrary files with the rights
|
|
of the user running ed, which could be the root user.

|
ed is a line-oriented text editor, used to create or modify text files,
|
|
both interactively and via shell scripts.

<description>
|
|
<p>
|
|
ed insecurely creates temporary files in world-writeable directories with
|
|
predictable names. Given that ed is used in various system shell scripts,
|
|
they are by extension affected by the same vulnerability.
|
|

|
|
<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A local attacker could create symbolic links in the temporary files
|
|
directory, pointing to a valid file somewhere on the filesystem. When ed is
|
|
called, this would result in file access with the rights of the user
|
|
running the utility, which could be the root user.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All ed users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge sync
|
|
|
|
# emerge -pv ">=sys-apps/ed-0.2-r4"
|
|
# emerge ">=sys-apps/ed-0.2-r4"</code>
