+ <p>DTrace is a dynamic tracing tool for analysing or debugging the whole system. Specifically, dtprobed is a component of the DTrace system that keeps track of USDT probes within running processes, parsing and storing the DOF they provide for later consumption by dtrace proper.</p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>A vulnerability has been found in dtprobed that allows for arbitrary file creation through specially crafted USDT provider names.</p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>The worst possible outcome is the ability for an attacker to run arbitrary code via the maliciously created file.</p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>All DTrace users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
+
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-debug/dtrace-2.0.6"
+ </code>
