Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2014-11-20 13:46:18 UTC
From ${URL} :

It was reported [1] that the build directory in pip is predictable, so a local DoS is possible 
simply by creating a /tmp/pip-build-<username>/ directory owned by
someone other than the defined user.
Upstream patch that fixes this (will be included in pip 6.0):
https://github.com/pypa/pip/pull/2122

@maintainer(s): after the bump, in case we need to stabilize the package, please let us know if it is ready for the stabilization or not.

CVE-2014-8991 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2014-8991):
  pip 1.3 through 1.5.6 allows local users to cause a denial of service
  (prevention of package installation) by creating a /tmp/pip-build-* file for
  another user.
