+ webapp-config is a Gentoo Linux utility to help manage the installation + of web-based applications. +

+
+ +

+ Eric Romang discovered webapp-config uses a predictable temporary + filename while processing certain options, resulting in a race + condition. +

+
+ +

+ 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. +

+
+ +

+ There is no known workaround at this time. +

+
+ +

+ All webapp-config users should upgrade to the latest version: +

+ + # emerge --sync + # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-admin/webapp-config-1.11" +
