+ <title>Netatalk: Insecure tempfile handling in etc2ps.sh</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ The etc2ps.sh script, included in the Netatalk package, is vulnerable to
+ symlink attacks, potentially allowing a local user to overwrite arbitrary
+ files with the rights of the user running the utility.

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ Netatalk is a kernel level implementation of the AppleTalk Protocol Suite,
+ which allows Unix hosts to act as file, print, and time servers for Apple
+ computers. It includes several script utilities, including etc2ps.sh.
+ </p>

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ The etc2ps.sh script creates temporary files in world-writeable directories
+ with predictable names.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A local attacker could create symbolic links in the temporary files
+ directory, pointing to a valid file somewhere on the filesystem. When
+ etc2ps.sh is executed, this would result in the file being overwritten with
+ the rights of the user running the utility, which could be the root user.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Netatalk users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge sync
+
+ # emerge -pv "&gt;=net-fs/netatalk-1.6.4-r1"
+ # emerge "&gt;=net-fs/netatalk-1.6.4-r1"</code>
