James Vega reported an untrusted search path vulnerability in the
|
|
Python interface.
|

|
<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A local attacker could entice a user to run Epiphany from a directory
|
|
containing a specially crafted python module, resulting in the
|
|
execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running
|
|
Epiphany.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Do not run "epiphany" from untrusted working directories.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All Epiphany users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-client/epiphany-2.22.3-r2"</code>
|
|
</resolution>
