<title>eix: Insecure temporary file creation</title>
<synopsis>

allowing a local user to overwrite arbitrary files.

<package name="app-portage/eix" auto="yes" arch="*">
<unaffected range="ge">0.5.0_pre2</unaffected>

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

<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>
