Description Vincent Danen 2010-04-15 19:09:18 UTC

A Debian bug report [1] notes that Gource creates its log file with a predictable name (/tmp/gource-$(UID).tmp), which a malicious user could use to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack, with the privileges of the user running Gource.

Fedora 12 and higher contain Gource and are affected by this issue.

Comment 1 Vincent Danen 2010-04-15 19:11:23 UTC

Created gource tracking bugs for this issue

Affects: fedora-12 [bug 582782]

Comment 2 Siddhesh Poyarekar 2010-04-16 05:32:38 UTC

Reported upstream as issue #65:

http://code.google.com/p/gource/issues/detail?id=65

Comment 3 Siddhesh Poyarekar 2010-04-16 07:58:29 UTC

Fix that went upstream:

http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/gource.git;a=patch;h=5aa2c8adfbe0ec3e5d802bfae8e5572562d911c7

This is also included in gource-0.26b. I'll rebase to it for rawhide and possibly F-13 and backport the patch for F-12.

Comment 4 Siddhesh Poyarekar 2010-04-16 08:33:00 UTC

Built backport for rawhide:
