Background ========= Roundup is a simple to use issue-tracking system with command-line, web, and e-mail interfaces. Affected packages ================ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 net-www/roundup = 0.7.6 Description ========== Improper handling of a specially crafted URL allows access to the server's filesystem, which could contain sensitive information. Impact ===== An attacker could view files owned by the user running Roundup. This will never be root however, as Roundup will not run as root. Workaround ========= There is no known workaround at this time. All users are encouraged to upgrade to the latest available version of Roundup. Resolution ========= All Roundup users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge sync # emerge -pv "> =net-www/roundup-0.7.6" # emerge "> =net-www/roundup-0.7.6" References ========= [ 1 ] Secunia Advisory SA11801 https://www.flexera.com/products/security/software-vulnerability-research/secunia-research Availability =========== This GLSA and any updates to it are available forviewing at the Gentoo Security Website: https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/200408-09 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.
