+ <title>lm_sensors: Insecure temporary file creation</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ lm_sensors is vulnerable to linking attacks, potentially allowing a local
+ user to overwrite arbitrary files.

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ lm_sensors is a software package that provides drivers for
+ monitoring the temperatures, voltages, and fans of Linux systems with
+ hardware monitoring devices.

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pena has discovered that lm_sensors
+ insecurely creates temporary files with predictable filenames when
+ saving configurations.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A local attacker could create symbolic links in the temporary file
+ directory, pointing to a valid file somewhere on the filesystem. When
+ the pwmconfig script of lm_sensors is executed, this would result in
+ the file being overwritten with the rights of the user running the
+ script, which typically is the root user.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All lm_sensors users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=sys-apps/lm_sensors-2.9.1-r1&quot;</code>
