+ <title>LutelWall: Insecure temporary file creation</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ LutelWall is vulnerable to symlink attacks, potentially allowing a local
+ user to overwrite arbitrary files.

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ LutelWall is a high-level Linux firewall configuration tool.
+ </p>

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Eric Romang has discovered that the new_version_check() function
+ in LutelWall insecurely creates a temporary file when updating to a new
+ version.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A local attacker could create symbolic links in the temporary file
+ directory, pointing to a valid file somewhere on the filesystem. When
+ the update script is executed (usually by the root user), this would
+ result in the file being overwritten with the rights of this user.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All LutelWall users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=net-firewall/lutelwall-0.98&quot;</code>
