<synopsis>

<affected>
<package name="net-analyzer/net-snmp" auto="yes" arch="*">

<background>
<p>
Net-SNMP is a suite of applications used to implement the Simple
Network Management Protocol.

<description>
<p>
The fixproc application of Net-SNMP creates temporary files with
predictable filenames.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
A malicious local attacker could exploit a race condition to change the
content of the temporary files before they are executed by fixproc,
possibly leading to the execution of arbitrary code. A local attacker
could also create symbolic links in the temporary files directory,
pointing to a valid file somewhere on the filesystem. When fixproc is
executed, this would result in the file being overwritten.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All Net-SNMP users should upgrade to the latest available version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-analyzer/net-snmp-5.2.1-r1"</code>
