    Dependent Packages: none

    Description:
      Eric Romang has discovered [1] that GNU shtool [0] insecurely creates
      temporary files with predictable filenames, potentially allowing a
      local user to overwrite arbitrary files with a "symlink" attack. The
      Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project assigned the id
      CAN-2005-1751 [2] to the problem. On closer inspection, the Gentoo
      Security team discovered that the GNU shtool temporary file, once
      created, was being reused insecurely, too. The Common Vulnerabilities
      and Exposures (CVE) project assigned the id CAN-2005-1759 [3] to the
      problem.

      Please check whether you are affected by running "<prefix>/bin/openpkg
      rpm -q shtool". If you have the "shtool" package installed and its
      version is affected (see above), we recommend that you immediately
      upgrade it (see Solution) [3][4].

    Solution:
      Select the updated source RPM appropriate for your OpenPKG release
      [6], fetch it from the OpenPKG FTP service [7] or a mirror location,
      verify its integrity [8], build a corresponding binary RPM from it [3]
      and update your OpenPKG installation by applying the binary RPM [5].
      For the affected release OpenPKG 2.3, perform the following operations
      to permanently fix the security problem (for other releases adjust
      accordingly).

      $ ftp ftp.openpkg.org
      ftp> bin
      ftp> cd release/2.3/UPD
      ftp> get shtool-2.0.2-2.3.1.src.rpm
      ftp> bye
      $ <prefix>/bin/openpkg rpm -v --checksig shtool-2.0.1-2.3.1.src.rpm
      $ <prefix>/bin/openpkg rpm --rebuild shtool-2.0.1-2.3.1.src.rpm
      $ su -
      # <prefix>/bin/openpkg rpm -Fvh <prefix>/RPM/PKG/shtool-2.0.1-2.3.1.*.rpm

      Additionally, we recommend that you rebuild and reinstall
      all dependent packages (see above), if any, too [4][5].
