+ <title>Mono: Insecure temporary file creation</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ Mono is vulnerable to linking attacks, potentially allowing a local user to
+ overwrite arbitrary files.

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ Mono provides the necessary software to develop and run .NET client and
+ server applications.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Sebastian Krahmer of the SuSE Security Team discovered that the
+ System.CodeDom.Compiler classes of Mono create temporary files with
+ insecure permissions.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A local attacker could create links in the temporary file directory,
+ pointing to a valid file somewhere on the filesystem. When an affected
+ class is called, this could result in the file being overwritten with
+ the rights of the user running the script.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Mono users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-lang/mono-1.1.13.8.1"</code>
