Package: guilt
Version: 0.27-1
Severity: critical
Tags: security
guilt makes extensive use of the '$$' shell variable for temporary
files in /tmp. This is a serious security vulnerability; on multi-user
systems it allows an attacker to clobber files with something like the
following:
for i in `seq 1 32768`; do
ln -sf /etc/passwd /tmp/guilt.log.$i;
done
(In this example, if root does e.g. 'guilt push', /etc/passwd will get
clobbered.)
Please use mktemp(1) to create temporary files.
For reference:
guilt-0.27$ grep '$$' *
guilt: $reject "$p" > /dev/null 2> /tmp/guilt.log.$$
guilt: rm -f /tmp/guilt.log.$$ /tmp/guilt.msg.\
$$
guilt: do_get_header "$p" > /tmp/guilt.msg.$$
guilt: [ ! -s /tmp/guilt.msg.$$ ] && echo "patch $pname" > /tmp/guilt.\

guilt: rm -f /tmp/guilt.msg.$$ /tmp/guilt.log.$$

Version: 0.28-1
This bug has been fixed by Nico in an NMU, but that NMU was not acknowledged.
However, upstream has fixed the issue in their upstream version 0.28, so I'm
closing the bug.
