Date: December 27, 2016
Bugs: #601994
ID: 201612-48
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
Synopsis
========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Firejail, the worst of
which may allow bypassing of sandbox protection.
Background
==========
A SUID program that reduces the risk of security breaches by
restricting the running environment of untrusted applications using
Linux namespaces and seccomp-bpf.
Affected packages
=================
——————————————————————-
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
——————————————————————-
1 sys-apps/firejail < 0.9.44.2 >= 0.9.44.2
2 sys-apps/firejail-lts >= 0.9.38.6
——————————————————————-
2 affected packages
Description
===========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Firejail. Please
review upstream’s release notes below for details.
Impact
======
A remote attacker could possibly bypass sandbox protection, cause a
Denial of Service condition, or change a system’s DNS server.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All Firejail users should switch to the newly added LTS version:
# emerge –sync
# emerge –ask –oneshot –verbose “>=sys-apps/firejail-lts-0.9.38.6”
Users who want to stay on the current branch should upgrade to the
latest version:
# emerge –sync
# emerge –ask –oneshot –verbose “>=sys-apps/firejail-0.9.44.2”
