Synopsis
========

A vulnerability in Supervisor might allow remote attackers to execute
arbitrary code.

 

Background
==========

Supervisor is a client/server system that allows its users to monitor
and control a number of processes on UNIX-like operating systems.

Affected packages
=================

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package              /     Vulnerable     /            Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  app-admin/supervisor         < 3.1.4                    >= 3.1.4 

Description
===========

A vulnerability in Supervisor was discovered in which an authenticated
client could send malicious XML-RPC requests and supervidord will run
them as shell commands with process privileges. In some cases,
supervisord is configured with root permissions.

Impact
======

A remote attacker could execute arbitrary code with the privileges of
the process.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All Supervisor users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "=app-admin/supervisor-3.1.4"
