Synopsis ========
VMware may load shared libraries from an untrusted, world-writable directory, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code.
Background ==========
VMware Workstation is a powerful virtual machine for developers and system administrators.
Affected packages =================
------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 vmware-workstation < 4.5.2.8848-r5 >= 4.5.2.8848-r5
Description ===========
Tavis Ormandy of the Gentoo Linux Security Audit Team has discovered that VMware Workstation searches for gdk-pixbuf loadable modules in an untrusted, world-writable directory.
Impact ======
A local attacker could create a malicious shared object that would be loaded by VMware, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running VMware.
Workaround ==========
The system administrator may create the file /tmp/rrdharan to prevent malicious users from creating a directory at that location:
# touch /tmp/rrdharan
Resolution ==========
All VMware Workstation users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-emulation/vmware-workstation-4.5.2.8848-r5"
Availability ============
This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website:
http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200502-18.xml

Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us. Any security concerns should be addressed to security@gentoo.org or alternatively, you may file a bug at http://bugs.gentoo.org.
