In the file jxplorer-log4j.patch distributed with the jxplorer ebuild, the parameter File is changed from a local filename to an absolute, static path in /tmp. If that file were to already exist as a symlink, it may be possible to overwrite arbitrary files when a privileged user used jxplorer. Herd, please confirm that either jxplorer checks if the file exists before writing to it, or make appropriate changes to the patch. Thanks :D
java please advise.
I think we could change the location of log file to ~/.jxplorer, same as the other patch does with conf file.
Should be fixed in 3.1-r1. Calling arches.

jikes is now filtered
x86 stable then
amd64 stable
ouch, late. I vote NO.
i'm actually the only active member of the security team, so let's close this without GLSA. Feel free to reopen if you disagree.
