Martin Vaeth reported multiple untrusted search path vulnerabilities
|
|
(CVE-2008-5843).
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Marcus Meissner of the SUSE Security Team reported that
|
|
temporary files are created with a predictable name (CVE-2008-5743).

<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A local attacker could place a specially crafted Python module in the
|
|
current working directory or the /var/tmp directory, and entice a user
|
|
to run the PDFjam scripts, leading to the execution of arbitrary code
|
|
with the privileges of the user running the application. A local
|
|
attacker could also leverage symlink attacks to overwrite arbitrary
|
|
files.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All PDFjam users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-text/pdfjam-1.20-r1"</code>
