+ <title>webapp-config: Insecure temporary file handling</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ The webapp-config utility insecurely creates temporary files in a world
+ writable directory, potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary
+ commands.
+ </synopsis>
+ <product type="ebuild">webapp-config</product>

+ <affected>
+ <package name="app-admin/webapp-config" auto="yes" arch="*">

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ webapp-config is a Gentoo Linux utility to help manage the installation
+ of web-based applications.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Eric Romang discovered webapp-config uses a predictable temporary
+ filename while processing certain options, resulting in a race
+ condition.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ Successful exploitation of the race condition would allow an attacker
+ to disrupt the operation of webapp-config, or execute arbitrary shell
+ commands with the privileges of the user running webapp-config. A local
+ attacker could use a symlink attack to create or overwrite files with
+ the permissions of the user running webapp-config.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All webapp-config users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=app-admin/webapp-config-1.11&quot;</code>
