Background

libgssglue exports a GSSAPI interface which calls other random GSSAPI libraries.

Description

libgssglue does not securely use getenv() when loading a library for a setuid application.

Impact

A local attacker could gain escalated privileges.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All libgssglue users should upgrade to the latest version:

 # emerge --sync
 # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-libs/libgssglue-0.4"
