Background ========== SPE is a cross-platform Python Integrated Development Environment (IDE). Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 dev-util/spe < 0.7.5c-r1 >= 0.7.5c-r1 *>= 0.5.1f-r1 Description =========== It was reported that due to an oversight all SPE's files are set as world-writeable. Impact ====== A local attacker could modify the executable files, causing arbitrary code to be executed with the permissions of the user running SPE. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All SPE users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose dev-util/spe Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200510-13.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us. Any security concerns should be addressed to security () gentoo org or alternatively, you may file a bug at http://bugs.gentoo.org.
