Description GLSAMaker/CVETool Bot gentoo-dev 2012-09-08 23:10:27 UTC 
CVE-2012-3378 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2012-3378):
  The register_application function in atk-adaptor/bridge.c in GNOME
  at-spi2-atk 2.5.2 does not seed the random number generator and generates
  predictable temporary file names, which makes it easier for local users to
  create or truncate files via a symlink attack on a temporary socket file in
  /tmp/at-spi2.
