Description Mamoru KOMACHI (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-02-20 06:31:10 UTC 
All ebuilds in app-i18n/uim have privilege escalation vulnerability
when you use it with immodule for Qt (if you build >=qt-3.3.2 with
USE="immqt" or USE="immqt-bc" you will get immodule for Qt). This is
fixed in uim-0.4.5.1 and uim-0.4.6_beta2.
Comment 1 Matthias Geerdsen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-02-20 07:52:14 UTC 
usata, are there any setuid/setgid applications in the tree, which are linked against libuim? Otherwise we shouldn't be vulnerable... or am I overlooking something here?

Anyways... accepting bug.

arches, pls test and mark stable...
uim-0.4.5.1.ebuild:
current KEYWORDS="x86 ~alpha ~ppc ~amd64 ~ppc64 ~sparc"
target KEYWORDS="x86 alpha ppc amd64 ppc64 sparc"
Comment 2 Mamoru KOMACHI (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-02-20 08:10:39 UTC 
vorlon: I just checked my Gentoo desktop, and
found mlterm (USE="uim") is linked against libuim.
It is setgid to utmp.
