+ <title>Net-SNMP: Insecure RPATH</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ The Gentoo Net-SNMP package may provide Perl modules containing an insecure
+ DT_RPATH, potentially allowing privilege escalation.
+ </synopsis>
+ <product type="ebuild">net-snmp</product>
+ <announced>2005-09-06</announced>

+ <affected>
+ <package name="net-analyzer/net-snmp" auto="yes" arch="*">
+ <unaffected range="ge">5.2.1.2-r1</unaffected>
+ <vulnerable range="lt">5.2.1.2-r1</vulnerable>
+ </package>

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ Net-SNMP is a suite of applications used to implement the Simple
+ Network Management Protocol.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ James Cloos reported that Perl modules from the Net-SNMP package look
+ for libraries in an untrusted location. This is due to a flaw in the
+ Gentoo package, and not the Net-SNMP suite.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A local attacker (member of the portage group) may be able to create a
+ shared object that would be loaded by the Net-SNMP Perl modules,
+ executing arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the
+ Perl script.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ Limit group portage access to trusted users.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Net-SNMP users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-analyzer/net-snmp-5.2.1.2-r1"</code>
