Synopsis
========

A vulnerability was discovered in util-linux, which could potentially
lead to the execution of arbitrary code.

Background
==========

util-linux is a suite of Linux programs including mount and umount,
programs used to mount and unmount filesystems.

Affected packages
=================

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 sys-apps/util-linux < 2.30.2-r1 >= 2.30.2-r1

Description
===========

It was discovered that the umount bash-completion as provided by
util-linux does not escap mount point paths.

Impact
======

An attacker controlling a volume label could entice a user with
privileges to mount/umount filesystems to use umount command with auto
completion, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with root
privileges.

Workaround
==========

Disable Bash-completion or remove
"/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/umount".

Resolution
==========

All util-linux users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-apps/util-linux-2.30.2-r1"

References
==========

Synopsis
========

A vulnerability in Go might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary
commands during source code build.

Background
==========

Go is an open source programming language that makes it easy to build
simple, reliable, and efficient software.

Affected packages
=================

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 dev-lang/go < 1.9.4 >= 1.9.4

Description
===========

A command injection flaw was discovered in the source code build phase
because of the "go get" command, which does not block -fplugin= and
-plugin arguments.

Impact
======

A remote attacker could entice a user to process a repository
containing maliciously-crafted build instructions using "go get",
resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the
process.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All Go users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-lang/go-1.9.4"
