Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2012-04-21 09:29:49 UTC
From secunia advisory at $URL:


Description
A security issue has been reported in Munin, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to manipulate certain data.

The security issue is caused due to the qmailscan plugin creating temporary files in an insecure manner, which can be exploited to e.g. overwrite arbitrary files via symlink attacks.

The security issue is reported in version 1.4.7. Other versions may also be affected.


Solution
Restrict access to trusted users only (unpatched).

from upstream svn, might work...needs testing
Comment 2 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-07-21 15:45:26 UTC
Can security verify whether this affects 1.4.6 or not? If not I'd just get rid of 1.4.7 and that's it; if yes I'll have to choose between updating 1.4.7 or stabling 2.0.2 already.
Comment 3 Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2012-07-21 16:03:46 UTC
yes, 1.4.6 is vulnerable, the fix appears only in 2.0-rc6:

* Remove the use of tempfiles. (D: Closes #668778)

so you can:
1)patch 1.4.x if is your interest maintain in tree 1.x
2)stabilize 2.x
Comment 4 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-08-18 00:24:59 UTC
So I'd be fine with stabling 2.0.5 at this point.. but ppc hasn't keyworded it yet.
Comment 5 Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2012-08-21 12:08:15 UTC
Sorry, this is not [stable blocked], the block is only for ppc.
amd64 and x86 can do it in the meantime.


Arches, please test and mark stable:

Target KEYWORDS : "amd64 ppc x86"
Comment 6 Tomáš "tpruzina" Pružina (amd64 [ex]AT) 2012-08-30 18:09:01 UTC
amd64: ok (builds with defflags, tests fine)

CVE-2012-2103 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2012-2103):
  The qmailscan plugin for Munin 1.4.5 allows local users to overwrite
  arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files with predictable
  names.
