Arch Linux Security Advisory ASA-201706-25
==========================================
Severity: Medium
Date : 2017-06-22
CVE-ID : CVE-2016-10369
Package : lxterminal
Type : access restriction bypass
Remote : No
Link : https://security.archlinux.org/AVG-264
Summary
=======
The package lxterminal before version 0.3.0-2 is vulnerable to access
restriction bypass.
Resolution
==========
Upgrade to 0.3.0-2.
# pacman -Syu "lxterminal>=0.3.0-2"
The problem has been fixed upstream but no release is available yet.
Workaround
==========
None.
Description
===========
unixsocket.c in lxterminal through 0.3.0 insecurely uses /tmp for a
socket file, allowing a local user to cause a denial of service
(preventing terminal launch), or possibly have other impact (bypassing
terminal access control).
Impact
======
A local attacker might be able to cause a denial of service or bypass
the terminal access control to gain privileges or access sensitive
information.
