+ python-updater is a script used to remerge python packages when + changing Python version. +

+
+ +

+ Robert Buchholz of the Gentoo Security Team reported that + python-updater includes the current working directory and + subdirectories in the Python module search path (sys.path) before + calling "import". +

+
+ +

+ A local attacker could entice the root user to run "python-updater" + from a directory containing a specially crafted Python module, + resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with root privileges. +

+
+ +

+ Do not run "python-updater" from untrusted working directories. +

+
+ +

+ All python-updater users should upgrade to the latest version: +

+ + # emerge --sync + # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-admin/python-updater-0.7-r1" +
