Synopsis
========
A vulnerability has been discovered in Firejail which could result in
local root privilege escalation.
Background
==========
A SUID program that reduces the risk of security breaches by restricting
the running environment of untrusted applications using Linux namespaces
and seccomp-bpf.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/glsamaker/models/glsa.py", line 326, in generate_mail_table
return self._generate_mail_table()
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/glsamaker/models/glsa.py", line 297, in _generate_mail_table
vuln.range_types_rev[vuln.pkg_range], vuln.version
KeyError: None
Description
===========
Firejail does not sufficiently validate the user's environment prior to
using it as the root user when using the --join command line option.
Impact
======
An unprivileged user can exploit this vulnerability to achieve local
root privileges.
Workaround
==========
System administrators can mitigate this vulnerability via adding either "force-nonewprivs yes" or "join no" to the Firejail configuration file
in /etc/firejail/firejail.config.
Resolution
==========
Gentoo has discontinued support for sys-apps/firejail-lts. Users should
unmerge it in favor of sys-apps/firejail:
# emerge --ask --depclean --verbose "sys-apps/firejail-lts"
# emerge --ask --verbose "sys-apps/firejail"
All Firejail users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-apps/firejail-0.9.70"
