Description

Problem Description: Flaws in portsnap's verification of downloaded tar files allows additional files to be included without causing the verification to fail. Portsnap may then use or execute these files. Impact: An attacker who can conduct man in the middle attack on the network at the time when portsnap is run can cause portsnap to execute arbitrary commands under the credentials of the user who runs portsnap, typically root.
