Bug 404985 – <www-client/uzbl-2012.05.14: world-readable cookie file (CVE-2012-0843)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Security

[Description Agostino Sarubbo 2012-02-20 09:29:03 UTC]

From debian bugzilla at $URL:

$ ls -ld ~/.local/{,share/{,uzbl/{,cookies.txt}}}
drwxr-xr-x 3 user users 4096 Feb  9 23:29 /home/user/.local/
drwxr-xr-x 4 user users 4096 Feb  9 23:29 /home/user/.local/share/
drwxr-xr-x 2 user users 4096 Feb  9 23:29 /home/user/.local/share/uzbl/
-rw-rw-rw- 1 user users  732 Feb  9 23:29 /home/user/.local/share/uzbl/cookies.txt

This allows local users to steal cookies (and tamper with them).



I consider it as upstream/ebuild because anyone is able to change permission
without upstream support

=www-client/uzbl-2011.11.18 should be stabilized, as it fixes this vulnerability (per http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=659379#38).

[Comment 2 Samuel Damashek (RETIRED) 2013-12-22 03:57:36 UTC]

Apologies, =www-client/uzbl-2011.11.18 does not contain the patch, however =www-client/uzbl-2012.05.14 does. =www-client/uzbl-2012.05.14 should be stabled instead. Thank you!

Better. Package has been in tree over a year, so I see no issue going ahead with a stable. Arches, please test and stabilize:
=www-client/uzbl-2012.05.14
Target arches: amd64 x86
