+  <title>Blam: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code</title>
+  <synopsis>
+    Blam doesn't properly handle environment variables, potentially allowing a
+    local attacker to execute arbitrary code.

+  <affected>

+  <background>
+    <p>
+    Blam is an RSS and Atom feed reader for GNOME written in C#.
+    </p>
+  </background>
+  <description>
+    <p>
+    The "/usr/bin/blam" script sets the "LD_LIBRARY_PATH" environment
+    variable incorrectly, which might result in the current working
+    directory (.) being included when searching for dynamically linked
+    libraries of the Mono Runtime application.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    A local attacker could entice a user to run Blam in a directory
+    containing a specially crafted library file which could result in the
+    execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running
+    Blam.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    Do not run Blam from an untrusted working directory.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All Blam users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=net-news/blam-1.8.4&quot;</code>
