+ <synopsis>
+ An untrusted search path vulnerability in the dstat might result in the
+ execution of arbitrary code.

+ <affected>
+ <package name="sys-apps/dstat" auto="yes" arch="*">

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ dstat is a versatile system resource monitor written in Python.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Robert Buchholz of the Gentoo Security Team reported that dstat
+ includes the current working directory and subdirectories in the Python
+ module search path (sys.path) before calling "import".
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A local attacker could entice a user to run "dstat" from a directory
+ containing a specially crafted Python module, resulting in the
+ execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the
+ application.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ Do not run "dstat" from untrusted working directories.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All dstat users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=sys-apps/dstat-0.6.9-r1"</code>
