Currently unrated
What is CVE-2004-1107?
The Portage package manager, specifically version 2.0.51-r2 and earlier, is vulnerable to a symlink attack. This vulnerability allows local users to create symbolic links (symlinks) pointing to arbitrary files. When the 'dispatch-conf' command is executed, it may inadvertently overwrite these designated files, leading to potential unauthorized modifications. Users should ensure they update their Portage version to mitigate this risk and safeguard their systems from possible exploits.
