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

+ <affected>
+ <package name="sys-cluster/heartbeat" auto="yes" arch="*">
+ <unaffected range="ge">1.2.3-r1</unaffected>
+ <vulnerable range="lt">1.2.3-r1</vulnerable>
+ </package>
+ </affected>
+ <background>
+ <p>
+ Heartbeat is a component of the High-Availability Linux project.
+ It it used to perform death-of-node detection, communications and
+ cluster management.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Eric Romang has discovered that Heartbeat insecurely creates
+ temporary files with predictable filenames.
+ </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 a
+ vulnerable script is executed, this could lead to the file being
+ overwritten with the rights of the user running the affected
+ application.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Heartbeat users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=sys-cluster/heartbeat-1.2.3-r1"</code>
