+ <title>Website META Language: Insecure temporary file usage</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ Multiple insecure temporary file vulnerabilities have been discovered in
+ the Website META Language.

+ <access>local</access>
+ <affected>
+ <package name="dev-lang/wml" auto="yes" arch="*">
+ <unaffected range="ge">2.0.11-r3</unaffected>

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ Website META Language is a free and extensible Webdesigner's off-line
+ HTML generation toolkit for Unix.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Temporary files are handled insecurely in the files
+ wml_backend/p1_ipp/ipp.src, wml_contrib/wmg.cgi, and
+ wml_backend/p3_eperl/eperl_sys.c, allowing users to overwrite or delete
+ arbitrary files with the privileges of the user running the program.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ Local users can exploit the insecure temporary file vulnerabilities via
+ symlink attacks to perform certain actions with escalated privileges.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ Restrict access to the temporary directory to trusted users only.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Website META Language users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=dev-lang/wml-2.0.11-r3&quot;</code>
+ </resolution>
