This is fixed upstream in >=3.6.0: http://openhpi.org/Changelogs/3.6.0 @maintainer, please bump the package and cleanup the vulnerable versions. @maintainer, ping. @maintainer, any intention on bumping this? @treecleaners, maintainer has expressed his intention of dropping the package. Preferably clean the package or assign to maintainer-needed. dropped Unstable package dropped. |
From ${URL} : openhpi ships with the /var/lib/openhpi/ directory set world readable and writeable. If this directory is used for storing the OPENHPI_UID_MAP or other openhpi data for exam,p[le an attacker would be able to view, modify and delete it. Even without such usage an attacker could use it to fill up the storage hosting the /var/lib/ directory if quotas are not properly set. NOTE: On Gentoo this is only world-readable instead of world-writable. @maintainer(s): since the package or the affected version has never been marked as stable, we don't need to stabilize it. After the bump, please remove the affected versions from the tree.
