Background ========== Roundup is a simple to use issue-tracking system with command-line, web, and e-mail interfaces. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 net-www/roundup <= 0.6.4 >= 0.7.6 Description =========== Improper handling of a specially crafted URL allows access to the server's filesystem, which could contain sensitive information. Impact ====== An attacker could view files owned by the user running Roundup. This will never be root however, as Roundup will not run as root. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. All users are encouraged to upgrade to the latest available version of Roundup. Resolution ========== All Roundup users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge sync # emerge -pv ">=net-www/roundup-0.7.6" # emerge ">=net-www/roundup-0.7.6" References ========== [ 1 ] Secunia Advisory SA11801 http://secunia.com/advisories/11801/ Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200408-09.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
