Description Tavis Ormandy (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-12-30 12:56:05 UTC
pkg_postinst() uses /tmp insecurely.

Please perform the modification in src_unpack(), and use ${T} if necessary.

using /tmp can be very dangerous if done incorrectly so should be avoided :)

yuck.  fixed.
Comment 2 Raphael Marichez (Falco) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-02-23 17:51:19 UTC
in general please don't close security bugs since, at least, we have to decide whether we issue a GLSA or not, whereas in that case i would vote "No".

also voting no here and closing
