Severity: High Title: GIMPS, SETI@home, ChessBrain: Insecure installation Date: November 17, 2004 Bugs: #69868 ID: 200411-26
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Synopsis ========
Improper file ownership allows user-owned files to be run with root privileges by init scripts.
Background ==========
GIMPS is a client for the distributed Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search. SETI@home is the client for the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) project. ChessBrain is the client for the distributed chess supercomputer.
Affected packages =================
------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 app-sci/gimps <= 23.9 >= 23.9-r1 2 app-sci/setiathome <= 3.08-r3 >= 3.08-r4 *>= 3.03-r2 3 app-sci/chessbrain <= 20407 >= 20407-r1 ------------------------------------------------------------------- 3 affected packages on all of their supported architectures. -------------------------------------------------------------------
Description ===========
GIMPS, SETI@home and ChessBrain ebuilds install user-owned binaries and init scripts which are executed with root privileges.
Impact ======
This could lead to a local privilege escalation or root compromise.
Workaround ==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution ==========
All GIMPS users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-sci/gimps-23.9-r1"
All SETI@home users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-sci/setiathome-3.08-r4"
All ChessBrain users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-sci/chessbrain-20407-r1"
