Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in BURP's Gentoo ebuild, the worst of which could lead to root privilege escalation.
| Package | app-backup/burp on all architectures |
|---|---|
| Affected versions | < 2.1.32 |
| Unaffected versions | >= 2.1.32 |
A network backup and restore program.
It was discovered that Gentoo’s BURP ebuild does not properly set permissions or place the pid file in a safe directory.
A local attacker could escalate privileges.
Users should ensure the proper permissions are set as discussed in the referenced bugs.
All BURP users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-backup/burp-2.1.32"
