Fedora 18 : gitolite3-3.5.3.1-1.fc18 (2013-23951)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 71788

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

Gitolite was found to be vulnerable to local filesystem information leak, where it could create world-writable files in the repositories (particularly the gitolite-admin one) depending on the user umask running gitolite setup.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected gitolite3 package.
