Synopsis
========

An integer underflow in sgdisk from GPT fdisk package might allow local
attacker(s) to escalate privileges.

Background
==========

GPT fdisk (consisting of the gdisk, cgdisk, sgdisk, and fixparts
programs) is a set of text-mode partitioning tools for Linux, FreeBSD,
Mac OS X, and Windows.

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

     -------------------------------------------------------------------
      Package              /     Vulnerable     /            Unaffected
     -------------------------------------------------------------------
   1  sys-apps/gptfdisk            < 1.0.6                    >= 1.0.6

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

It was discovered that ReadLogicalParts() function in basicmbr.cc was
missing a bounds check.

Impact
======

A local attacker could entice a user to insert a malicious formatted
block device (USB stick or SD card for example), that, when processed
with sgdisk, possibly resulting in local escalation of privileges or a
Denial of Service condition.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All GPT fdisk users should upgrade to the latest version:

   # emerge --sync
   # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-apps/gptfdisk-1.0.6"

References
==========
