    SPE is a cross-platform Python Integrated Development Environment
    (IDE).

  <description>
    <p>
    It was reported that due to an oversight all SPE's files are set as
    world-writeable.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A local attacker could modify the executable files, causing arbitrary
    code to be executed with the permissions of the user running SPE.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All SPE users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose dev-util/spe</code>
  </resolution>
