<description>

<p>
|
|
Temporary files are handled insecurely in the files
|
|
wml_backend/p1_ipp/ipp.src, wml_contrib/wmg.cgi, and
|
|
wml_backend/p3_eperl/eperl_sys.c, allowing users to overwrite or delete
|
|
arbitrary files with the privileges of the user running the program.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</description>
|
|
<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
Local users can exploit the insecure temporary file vulnerabilities via
|
|
symlink attacks to perform certain actions with escalated privileges.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Restrict access to the temporary directory to trusted users only.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All Website META Language users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-lang/wml-2.0.11-r3"</code>
