Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.54736
Category:Gentoo Local Security Checks
Title:Gentoo Security Advisory GLSA 200411-15 (OpenSSL)
Summary:The remote host is missing updates announced in;advisory GLSA 200411-15.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory GLSA 200411-15.

Vulnerability Insight:
groffer, included in the Groff package, and the der_chop script, included
in the OpenSSL package, are both vulnerable to symlink attacks,
potentially allowing a local user to overwrite arbitrary files with the
rights of the user running the utility.

Solution:
All Groff users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=sys-apps/groff-1.19.1-r2'

All OpenSSL users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=dev-libs/openssl-0.9.7d-r2'

Note: /etc/ssl/misc/der_chop is protected by Portage as a configuration
file. Don't forget to use etc-update and overwrite the old version with
the new one.

CVSS Score:
