James Vega reported an untrusted search path vulnerability in the
GObject Python interpreter wrapper in Gnumeric.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
A local attacker could entice a user to run Gnumeric from a directory
containing a specially crafted python module, resulting in the
execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running
Gnumeric.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
Do not run "gnumeric" from untrusted working directories.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All Gnumeric users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=app-office/gnumeric-1.8.4-r1&quot;</code>
</resolution>
