Rating: Severe
Exposure Level Classification:
Local Root Deterministic Privilege Escalation
Updated Versions:
rmake=/conary.rpath.com@rpl:devel//1/1.0.3-2-0.1
References:
https://issues.rpath.com/browse/RPL-987
Description:
Previous versions of the rmake package do not drop supplemental users
in the changeroot environment for builds. This provides malicious
packages with excess permissions that are configuration-dependent,
and may allow local users to run arbitrary code as the root user.
