Detail
Synopsis An insecure temporary file usage has been reported in Minitube, possibly allowing symlink attacks. Background Minitube is a Qt4 YouTube desktop client. Description TomáÅ¡ Pružina reported that Minitube does not handle temporary files securely. Impact A local attacker could perform symlink attacks to overwrite arbitrary files with the privileges of the user running the application. Workaround There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution All Minitube users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-video/minitube-1.6" NOTE: This is a legacy GLSA. Updates for all affected architectures are available since November 11, 2011. It is likely that your system is already no longer affected by this issue.
