<title>MLDonkey: Privilege escalation</title>

<p>
MLDonkey is a peer-to-peer filesharing client that connects to several
different peer-to-peer networks, including Overnet and BitTorrent.
</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>
The Gentoo MLDonkey ebuild adds a user to the system named "p2p" so
that the MLDonkey service can run under a user with low privileges.
This user is created with a valid login shell and no password.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="high">
<p>
A remote attacker could log into a vulnerable system as the p2p user.
This would require an installed login service that permitted empty
passwords, such as SSH configured with the "PermitEmptyPasswords yes"
option, a local login console, or a telnet server.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
See Resolution.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
Change the p2p user's shell to disallow login. For example, as root run
the following command:
</p>
<code>
# usermod -s /bin/false p2p</code>
<p>
NOTE: updating to the current MLDonkey ebuild will not remove this
vulnerability, it must be fixed manually. The updated ebuild is to
prevent this problem from occurring in the future.
