A vulnerability in libgssglue may allow a local attacker to gain escalated privileges.
| Package | Arch | Vulnerable | Unaffected |
|---|---|---|---|
| net-libs/libgssglue | * | < 0.4 | >= 0.4 |
libgssglue exports a GSSAPI interface which calls other random GSSAPI libraries.
libgssglue does not securely use getenv() when loading a library for a setuid application.
A local attacker could gain escalated privileges.
There is no known workaround at this time.
All libgssglue users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-libs/libgssglue-0.4"
