+ Portage is Gentoo's package management tool. The dispatch-conf utility + allows for easy rollback of configuration file changes and automatic + updates of configurations files never modified by users. Gentoolkit is + a collection of Gentoo specific administration scripts, one of which is + the portage querying tool qpkg. +

+
+ +

+ dispatch-conf and qpkg use predictable filenames for temporary files. +

+
+ +

+ A local attacker could create symbolic links in the temporary files + directory, pointing to a valid file somewhere on the filesystem. When + an affected script is called, this would result in the file to be + overwritten with the rights of the user running the dispatch-conf or + qpkg, which could be the root user. +

+
+ +

+ There is no known workaround at this time. +

+
+ +

+ All Portage users should upgrade to the latest version: +

+ + # emerge --sync + # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-apps/portage-2.0.51-r3" +

+ All Gentoolkit users should upgrade to the latest version: +

+ + # emerge --sync + # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-portage/gentoolkit-0.2.0_pre8-r1" +
