Synopsis
========

Gentoo’s MUNGE ebuilds are vulnerable to privilege escalation due to
improper permissions.

Background
==========

An authentication service for creating and validating credentials.

Affected packages
=================

——————————————————————-
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
——————————————————————-
1 sys-auth/munge < 0.5.10-r2 >= 0.5.10-r2

Description
===========

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.

Impact
======

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

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All MUNGE users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge –sync
# emerge –ask –oneshot –verbose “>=sys-auth/munge-0.5.10-r2”

References
==========

Availability
============

This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at
