Dwayne Litzenberger reported that the
|
|
MagnatuneBrowser::listDownloadComplete() function in
|
|
magnatunebrowser/magnatunebrowser.cpp uses the album_info.xml temporary
|
|
file in an insecure manner.

<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A local attacker could perform a symlink attack to overwrite arbitrary
|
|
files on the system with the privileges of the user running the
|
|
application.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>

There is no known workaround at this time.

<code>
|

# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-sound/amarok-1.4.10"</code>
