<p>
|
|
Robert Buchholz of the Gentoo Security Team reported that dstat
|
|
includes the current working directory and subdirectories in the Python
|
|
module search path (sys.path) before calling "import".
|
|
</p>

</description>
|
|
<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A local attacker could entice a user to run "dstat" from a directory
|
|
containing a specially crafted Python module, resulting in the
|
|
execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the
|
|
application.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Do not run "dstat" from untrusted working directories.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All dstat users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-apps/dstat-0.6.9-r1"</code>
|
|
</resolution>
