An authentication service for creating and validating credentials.

+ +

It was discovered that Gentoo’s default MUNGE installation suffered + from a privilege escalation vulnerability (munge user to root) due to + improper permissions and a runscript which called chown() on a user + controlled file. +

+
+ +

A local attacker, who either is already MUNGE’s system user or belongs + to MUNGE’s group, could potentially escalate privileges. +

+
+ +

There is no known workaround at this time.

+
+ +

All MUNGE users should upgrade to the latest version:
