    [guru-merlin] [koon@gentoo.org: [ GLSA 200510-13 ] SPE: Insecure file permissions]


    DATE: Mon, 17 Oct 2005 22:18:53 +0200
    Az SPE állományai tévesen mindenki számára írhatóként installálódtak,
    így Gentoo kihozta a csomag javítását.

    Synopsis
    ========
    
    SPE files are installed with world-writeable permissions, potentially
    leading to privilege escalation.
    
    Background
    ==========
    
    SPE is a cross-platform Python Integrated Development Environment
    (IDE).
    
    Affected packages
    =================
    
        -------------------------------------------------------------------
         Package       /   Vulnerable   /                       Unaffected
        -------------------------------------------------------------------
      1  dev-util/spe      < 0.7.5c-r1                        >= 0.7.5c-r1
                                                             *>= 0.5.1f-r1
    
    Description
    ===========
    
    It was reported that due to an oversight all SPE's files are set as
    world-writeable.
    
    Impact
    ======
    
    A local attacker could modify the executable files, causing arbitrary
    code to be executed with the permissions of the user running SPE.
    
    Workaround
    ==========
    
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    
    Resolution
    ==========
    
    All SPE users should upgrade to the latest version:
    
        # emerge --sync
        # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose dev-util/spe
    
    Availability
    ============
