<p>
James Vega reported an untrusted search path vulnerability in the
Python interface.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
A local attacker could entice a user to run Epiphany from a directory
containing a specially crafted python module, resulting in the
execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running
Epiphany.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
Do not run "epiphany" from untrusted working directories.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All Epiphany users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-client/epiphany-2.22.3-r2"</code>
</resolution>
