Synopsis
========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Portage.
Background
==========
Portage is the default Gentoo package management system.
Affected packages
=================
Package Vulnerable Unaffected
---------------- ------------ ------------
sys-apps/portage < 3.0.81.2 >= 3.0.81.2
Description
===========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Portage. Please review
the bugs referenced below for details.
The first bug (bug 978478) allows a malicious ebuild (including a build
system it uses indirectly) to write outside of the work directory. While
malicious artifacts could be installed by a package itself, this is
still unexpected if one only ran the configure phrase during
development.
The second bug (bug 979026) is regarding insufficient sandboxing in
global scope. Untrusted ebuilds, even if not emerged, may have the
opportunity to run code in global scope depending on whether the
repository has metadata available. Additional sandboxing has been added.
Impact
======
Please review the referenced bugs for details.
Workaround
==========
Avoid using untrusted repositories or ebuilds, even without installing
them.
Resolution
==========
All Portage users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-apps/portage-3.0.81.2"
In general, we recommend users add external repositories with caution.
If using external repositories, it is good practice to mask all packages
by default from that repository, and unmask only needed packages.
