Gentoo Linux Security Advisory
Title: Net-SNMP: Insecure RPATH (GLSA 200509-05)
Severity: normal
Exploitable: local
Date: September 06, 2005
Updated: May 22, 2006
Bug(s): #103776
ID: 200509-05
Synopsis
The Gentoo Net-SNMP package may provide Perl modules containing an insecure
DT_RPATH, potentially allowing privilege escalation.
Background
Net-SNMP is a suite of applications used to implement the Simple
Network Management Protocol.
Affected Packages
Package: net-analyzer/net-snmp
Vulnerable: < 5.2.1.2-r1
Unaffected: >= 5.2.1.2-r1
Architectures: All supported architectures
Description
James Cloos reported that Perl modules from the Net-SNMP package look
for libraries in an untrusted location. This is due to a flaw in the
Gentoo package, and not the Net-SNMP suite.
Impact
A local attacker (member of the portage group) may be able to create a
shared object that would be loaded by the Net-SNMP Perl modules,
executing arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the
Perl script.
Workaround
Limit group portage access to trusted users.
Resolution
All Net-SNMP users should upgrade to the latest version:
Code: | # emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-analyzer/net-snmp-5.2.1.2-r1" |
