+ <title>Cscope: Insecure creation of temporary files</title>

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ Cscope is a developer utility used to browse and manage source
+ code.

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Cscope creates temporary files in world-writable directories with
+ predictable names.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A local attacker could create symbolic links in the temporary
+ files directory, pointing to a valid file somewhere on the filesystem.
+ When Cscope is executed, this would result in the file being
+ overwritten with the rights of the user running the utility, which
+ could be the root user.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Cscope users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=dev-util/cscope-15.5-r2&quot;</code>
