Synopsis ========
A vulnerability has been discovered in ELinks allowing for the user-assisted execution of arbitrary code.
Background ==========
ELinks is a text-mode web browser.
Affected packages =================
------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 www-client/elinks < 0.11.2-r1 >= 0.11.2-r1
Description ===========
Arnaud Giersch discovered that the "add_filename_to_string()" function in file intl/gettext/loadmsgcat.c uses an untrusted relative path, allowing for a format string attack with a malicious .po file.
Impact ======
A local attacker could entice a user to run ELinks in a specially crafted directory environment containing a malicious ".po" file, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running ELinks.
Workaround ==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution ==========
All ELinks users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-client/elinks-0.11.2-r1"
