<bug>245317</bug>
<access>local</access>
<affected>
<package name="dev-util/valgrind" auto="yes" arch="*">
<unaffected range="ge">3.4.0</unaffected>
<vulnerable range="lt">3.4.0</vulnerable>
</package>
</affected>
<background>
<p>
Valgrind is an open-source memory debugger.
</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>
Tavis Ormandy reported that Valgrind loads a .valgrindrc file in the
current working directory, executing commands specified there.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="high">
<p>
A local attacker could prepare a specially crafted .valgrindrc file and
entice a user to run Valgrind from the directory containing that file,
resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the
user running Valgrind.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
Do not run "valgrind" from untrusted working directories.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All Valgrind users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-util/valgrind-3.4.0"</code>
</resolution>
