Gentoo: GLSA-200511-16 Normal: GNUMP3d Directory Threat and File Issues

Two vulnerabilities have been identified in GNUMP3d allowing for limited directory traversal and insecure temporary file creation.. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 200511-16 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - https://security.gentoo.org/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Severity: Normal Title: GNUMP3d: Directory traversal and insecure temporary file creation Date: November 21, 2005 Bugs: #111990 ID: 200511-16 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Synopsis ======= Two vulnerabilities have been identified in GNUMP3d allowing for limited directory traversal and insecure temporary file creation. Background ========= GNUMP3d is a streaming server for MP3s, OGG vorbis files, movies and other media formats. Affected packages ================ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 media-sound/gnump3d < 2.9.7-r1 > = 2.9.7-r1 Description ========== Ludwig Nussel from SUSE Linux has identified two vulnerabilities in GNUMP3d. GNUMP3d fails to properly check for the existence of /tmp/index.lok before writing to the file, allowing for local unauthorized access to files owned by the user running GNUMP3d. GNUMP3d also fails to properly validate the "theme" GET variable from CGI input, allowing for unauthorized file inclusion. Impact ===== An attacker could overwrite files owned by the user running GNUMP3d by symlinking /tmp/index.lok to the file targeted for overwrite. An attacker could also include arbitrary files by traversing up the directory tree (at most two times, i.e. "../..") with the "theme"GET variable. Workaround ========= There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========= All GNUMP3d users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "> =media-sound/gnump3d-2.9.7-r1" References ========= [ 1 ] CVE-2005-3349 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2005-3349 [ 2 ] CVE-2005-3355 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2005-3355 [ 3 ] GNUMP3d Changelog Availability =========== This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/200511-16 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.

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project identifies the following problems: CVE-2005-3349 Ludwig Nussel discovered several temporary files that are created with predictable filenames in an insecure fashion and allows local attackers to craft symlink attacks. CVE-2005-3355 Ludwig Nussel discovered that the theme parameter to HTTP requests may be used for path traversal. The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain a gnump3d package. For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in version 2.9.3-1sarge3. For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 2.9.8-1.
