+  <title>eix: Insecure temporary file creation</title>
+  <synopsis>
+    eix has an insecure temporary file creation vulnerability, potentially
+    allowing a local user to overwrite arbitrary files.
+  </synopsis>
+  <product type="ebuild">eix</product>
+  <announced>November 22, 2005</announced>

+    eix is a small utility for searching ebuilds with indexing for fast
+    results.

+  <description>
+    <p>
+    Eric Romang discovered that eix creates a temporary file with a
+    predictable name. eix creates a temporary file in /tmp/eix.*.sync where
+    * is the process ID of the shell running eix.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    A local attacker can watch the process list and determine the process
+    ID of the shell running eix while the "emerge --sync" command is
+    running, then create a link from the corresponding temporary file to a
+    system file, which would result in the file being overwritten with the
+    rights of the user running the application.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All eix users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose app-portage/eix</code>
