Thin is a small and fast Ruby web server.

+
+ +

It was discovered that Gentoo’s Thin ebuild does not properly handle + its temporary runtime directories. This only affects OpenRC systems, as + the flaw was exploitable via the init script. +

+
+ +

A local attacker could cause denial of service by killing arbitrary + processes. +

+
+ +

There is no known workaround at this time.

+
+ +

Gentoo has discontinued support for Thin. We recommend that users + unmerge Thin: +

+ + + # emerge --unmerge "www-servers/thin" + + +

NOTE: The Gentoo developer(s) maintaining Thin have discontinued support + at this time. It may be possible that a new Gentoo developer will update + Thin at a later date. There are many other web servers available in the + tree in the www-servers category. +
