Gentoo Linux 200409-32 High Risk: getmail Filesystem Overwrite

getmail contains a vulnerability that could potentially allow any local user to create or overwrite files in any directory on the system. This flaw can be escalated further and possibly lead to a complete system compromise.

This flaw can be escalated further and possibly lead to a complete system compromise. Background ========= getmail is a reliable fetchmail replacement that supports Maildir, Mboxrd and external MDA delivery. Affected packages ================ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 net-mail/getmail < 4.2.0 > = 4.2.0 Description ========== David Watson discovered a vulnerability in getmail when it is configured to run as root and deliver mail to the maildirs/mbox files of untrusted local users. A malicious local user can then exploit a race condition, or a similar symlink attack, and potentially cause getmail to create or overwrite files in any directory on the system. Impact ===== An untrusted local user could potentially create or overwrite files in any directory on the system. This vulnerability may also be exploited to have arbitrary commandsexecuted as root. Workaround ========= Do not run getmail as a privileged user; or, in version 4, use an external MDA with explicitly configured user and group privileges. Resolution ========= All getmail users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge sync # emerge -pv "> =net-mail/getmail-4.2.0" # emerge "> =net-mail/getmail-4.2.0" References ========= [ 1 ] getmail ChangeLog [ 2 ] getmail Mailing List Availability =========== This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/200409-32 Concerns? ======== Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
