Description:   Opened: 2006-12-31 02:11 0000 
The file construct.sh distributed with app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-java
insecurely writes to files in /tmp numerous times without first checking if the
files are symlinks.  This could potentially allow for the overwriting of
arbitrary files on the filesystem upon installation of
app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-java.

amd64 please advise and bump as necessary.

amd64 team?

And there is maybe
http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-26-102729-1 too, i don't
know exactly. see bug 158659

The construct.sh script is used only during emerge, and for
dev-java/sun-jre-bin{1.5,1.6} too. So if we fix it, there's no point in bump.
Doesn't sandbox cover this, though?

OK, sandbox covers the construct.sh insecure temporary file usage. But there is
also several vulnerabilities reported in bug 158659, in particular:
http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-26-102729-1

I think (IMHO) this affects the emulation Java package too.

there was a stable request anyway (bug 151705), so amd64 stable.

------- Comment #6 From Vlastimil Babka (Caster) 2007-01-23 11:52:43 0000 ------- 
What you stabled wasn't fixed at all. I'll list it clearly:

1.5.0.08 - based on sun-jre-bin-1.5.0.08, vulnerable the same way as bug 158659
and bug 162511 - needs to be bumped to 1.5.0.10 first, then stable

1.4.2.03 - based on blackdown-jre, probably vulnerable as bug 161835 - since
there's no new blackdown version, we could bump to version based on
sun-jre-bin-1.4.2.13 instead of blackdown, at the cost of fetch restriction

BTW, I've fixed the problem with /tmp usage by changing it to ${T}. as
construct.sh is used only during emerge, no need to bump/stable/glsa for this.

wltjr commited 1.5.0.10, but he's not arch team member with stable
system/chroot so can amd64 stable that?

amd64 stable

nothing to do for amd64 here

------- Comment #10 From Raphael Marichez 2007-02-10 19:15:20 0000 ------- 
I vote for a GLSA, see 200701-15.

------- Comment #11 From Raphael Marichez 2007-02-12 22:34:45 0000 ------- 
i'm actually the only active member of the security team, so i can't apply the
policy telling that 2 positive votes include a GLSA. 

Let's have one btw :)

GLSA 200702-08, thx amd and java teams
