+ <title>eix: Insecure temporary file creation</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ eix has an insecure temporary file creation vulnerability, potentially
+ allowing a local user to overwrite arbitrary files.
+ </synopsis>
+ <product type="ebuild">eix</product>
+ <announced>2005-11-22</announced>
+ <revised>2006-05-22: 02</revised>
+ <bug>112061</bug>
+ <access>local</access>
+ <affected>
+ <package name="app-portage/eix" auto="yes" arch="*">
+ <unaffected range="ge">0.5.0_pre2</unaffected>
+ <unaffected range="rge">0.3.0-r2</unaffected>
+ <vulnerable range="lt">0.5.0_pre2</vulnerable>
+ </package>

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ eix is a small utility for searching ebuilds with indexing for fast
+ results.

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Eric Romang discovered that eix creates a temporary file with a
+ predictable name. eix creates a temporary file in /tmp/eix.*.sync where
+ * is the process ID of the shell running eix.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A local attacker can watch the process list and determine the process
+ ID of the shell running eix while the "emerge --sync" command is
+ running, then create a link from the corresponding temporary file to a
+ system file, which would result in the file being overwritten with the
+ rights of the user running the application.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All eix users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose app-portage/eix</code>
+ </resolution>
