From ${URL} : I request a CVE for Gummi (LaTeX editor with preview pane) [1], the current release is 0.6.5. The program uses predictable filenames for files in /tmp, which produces a race condition [2]. [1] https://github.com/alexandervdm/gummi [2] https://bugs.debian.org/756432 gummi: Uses predictable filenames in /tmp based on basename @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.
Hmm I think the project may be somewhat dead but it may not be so hard to patch it anyway
(In reply to Markos Chandras from comment #1) > Hmm I think the project may be somewhat dead but it may not be so hard to > patch it anyway Markos, do we want to patch this or tree-clean?
0.6.6 is out and fixes CVE-2015-7758 amongst other things. https://github.com/alexandervdm/gummi

That is merely a link to the repo site.

As already pointed out I'm not proxy maintainer of this package. Rather an interested user who wanted to let you know about the new release.
Created attachment 424458 [details] gummi-0.6.6.ebuild FWIW, I made an ebuild for 0.6.6 based on gummi-9999 (which is in portage). Builds and runs fine in my local overlay.
this is in fact a candidate for tree cleaning
This was fixed in 0.6.5-6 upstream: http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debian-science/packages/gummi.git/diff/?id=7d13b0b Still a valid candidate for tree cleaning. @maintainers, please bump to 0.6.6. After the bump, if it is ready for stabilization please request for it in this bug.
I'm just some insignificant user. However, since the actual proxied maintainer and developer apparently shares no interest in this, I would also opt for tree clean. Gummi is nice because of the live preview. However, there are good if not better and most importantly well maintained TeX editors in the tree. Please tree clean at will.

Christian, if you would like to proxy-maintain[1] the package you can do so. Just simply let us know and we will mark the metadata accordingly.

I use LaTeX almost on a daily basis, however, gummi is not my main editor. Still I would hate to see this go, for the live preview pane is plain awesome at times. Since upstream has reappeared – not here but on GitHub – I assume it is worth to be kept in the tree. Therefore, I would in fact like to proxy-maintain this to the best of my ability. So if it meets your standards, please take my ebuild from comment #7 for 0.6.6.
Created attachment 426772 [details] gummi-0.6.6.ebuild I polished the ebuild a litte bit.

Christian, feel free to call for stabilisation and CC the relevant arch teams in. Also, arch teams will expect you to clean up unsecured versions of gummi. It can also be done through a PR. Thanks.

Thank you for the work and I hope you continue to contribute to Gentoo!
Thanks. It's a pleasure to finally contribute to your great distribution. CC'ing arches now since this is a security bug. As suggested, I'll send a new PR to clean up after stabilization. Arches, please test and mark stable: =app-editors/gummi-0.6.6 Target KEYWORDS="amd64 x86"
