+ <description>
+ <p>
+ multi-gnome-terminal contains debugging code that has been known to output
+ active keystrokes to a potentially unsafe location. Output has been seen to
+ show up in the '.xsession-errors' file in the users home directory. Since
+ this file is world-readable on many machines, this bug has the potential to
+ leak sensitive information to anyone using the system.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ Any authorized user on the local machine has the ability to read any
+ critical data that has been entered into the terminal, including passwords.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All multi-gnome-terminal users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge sync
+
+ # emerge -pv "&gt;=x11-terms/multi-gnome-terminal-1.6.2-r1"
+ # emerge "&gt;=x11-terms/multi-gnome-terminal-1.6.2-r1"</code>
