Category:Gentoo Local Security Checks
Title:Gentoo Security Advisory GLSA 200612-15 (vlnx)
Summary:The remote host is missing updates announced in;advisory GLSA 200612-15.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory GLSA 200612-15.

Vulnerability Insight:
McAfee VirusScan for Linux is distributed with an insecure DT_RPATH,
potentially allowing a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.

Solution:
As VirusScan verifies that it has not been modified before executing, it is
not possible to correct the DT_RPATH. Furthermore, this would violate the
license that VirusScan is distributed under. For this reason, the package
has been masked in Portage pending the resolution of this issue.
