Slackware 14.0 & 14.1: 2013-350-03 Moderate: LLVM Rpath Security Issue
slackware
December 17, 2013
New llvm packages are available for Slackware 14.0, 14.1, and -current to fix a security issue
Summary
Here are the details from the Slackware 14.1 ChangeLog: patches/packages/llvm-3.3-i486-3_slack14.1.txz: Rebuilt. The LLVM package included binaries with an rpath pointing to the build location in /tmp. This allows an attacker with write access to /tmp to add modified libraries (and execute arbitrary code) as any user running the LLVM binaries. This updated package rebuilds LLVM to exclude the build directories from the rpath information. Thanks to Christopher Oliver for the bug report. (* Security fix *)
