Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2014-05-29 14:39:02 UTC 
CVE-2014-0177 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2014-0177):
  The am function in lib/hub/commands.rb in hub before 1.12.1 allows local 
  users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary 
  patch file.


@maintainer(s): since the package or the affected version has never been marked as stable, we don't need to stabilize it. After the bump, please remove the affected versions from the tree.
