+  <title>Ghostscript: Insecure temporary file use in multiple scripts</title>
+  <synopsis>
+    Multiple scripts in the Ghostscript package are vulnerable to symlink
+    attacks, potentially allowing a local user to overwrite arbitrary files
+    with the rights of the user running the script.

+    Ghostscript is a software package providing an interpreter for the
+    PostScript language and the PDF file format. It also provides output
+    drivers for various file formats and printers.

+  <description>
+    <p>
+    The pj-gs.sh, ps2epsi, pv.sh and sysvlp.sh scripts create temporary files
+    in world-writeable directories with predictable names.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    A local attacker could create symbolic links in the temporary files
+    directory, pointing to a valid file somewhere on the filesystem. When an
+    affected script is called, this would result in the file to be overwritten
+    with the rights of the user running the script, which could be the root
+    user.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    Ghostscript users on all architectures except PPC should upgrade to the
+    latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge sync
+
+    # emerge -pv ">=app-text/ghostscript-esp-7.07.1-r7"
+    # emerge ">=app-text/ghostscript-esp-7.07.1-r7"</code>

+    Ghostscript users on the PPC architecture should upgrade to the latest
+    stable version on their architecture:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge sync

+    # emerge -pv ">=app-text/ghostscript-esp-7.05.6-r2"
+    # emerge ">=app-text/ghostscript-esp-7.05.6-r2"</code>
