VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/21867/
CRITICAL:
Not critical
IMPACT:
Privilege escalation
WHERE:
Local system
SOFTWARE:
Roxio Toast Titanium 7.x
http://secunia.com/product/11582/
DESCRIPTION:
Netragard has reported a vulnerability in Roxio Toast Titanium, which
can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated
privileges.
The vulnerability is caused due to the "dejavu_manual.rb" Ruby script
being created insecurely in the "/tmp" directory. This can be
exploited via a race condition to execute arbitrary code with root
privileges when an administrator does a manual backup in Deja Vu.
Some other Ruby scripts may also be created insecurely.
The vulnerability has been reported in version 7. Other versions may
also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Grant only trusted users access to affected systems.
