     Date: October 28, 2013
     Bugs: #367891
       ID: 201310-17

Synopsis
========

pmake uses temporary files in an insecure manner, allowing for symlink
attacks.

Background
==========

pmake is Debian's version of NetBSD's make, a tool to build programs in
parallel.

Affected packages
=================

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package              /     Vulnerable     /            Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  sys-devel/pmake            < 1.111.3.1              >= 1.111.3.1

Description
===========

/usr/share/mk/bsd.lib.mk and /usr/share/mk/bsd.prog.mk create temporary
files insecurely, with predictable names (/tmp/_depend[PID]), and
without using $TMPDIR.

Impact
======

The make include files allow local users to overwrite arbitrary files
via a symlink attack.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All pmake users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-devel/pmake-1.111.3.1"

References
==========
