+ <title>util-linux: Local privilege escalation</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ The mount and umount programs might allow local attackers to gain root
+ privileges.
+ </synopsis>
+ <product type="ebuild">util-linux</product>
+ <announced>2007-10-18</announced>
+ <revised>2007-10-18: 01</revised>
+ <bug>195390</bug>
+ <access>local</access>
+ <affected>
+ <package name="sys-apps/util-linux" auto="yes" arch="*">
+ <unaffected range="ge">2.12r-r8</unaffected>
+ <vulnerable range="lt">2.12r-r8</vulnerable>
+ </package>
+ </affected>
+ <background>
+ <p>
+ util-linux is a suite of Linux programs including mount and umount,
+ programs used to mount and unmount filesystems.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Ludwig Nussel discovered that the check_special_mountprog() and
+ check_special_umountprog() functions call setuid() and setgid() in the
+ wrong order and do not check the return values, which can lead to
+ privileges being dropped improperly.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ A local attacker may be able to exploit this vulnerability by using
+ mount helpers such as the mount.nfs program to gain root privileges and
+ run arbitrary commands.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All util-linux users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=sys-apps/util-linux-2.12r-r8"</code>
