+  <title>gettext: Insecure temporary file handling</title>
+  <synopsis>
+    The gettext utility is vulnerable to symlink attacks, potentially allowing
+    a local user to overwrite or change permissions on arbitrary files with the
+    rights of the user running gettext, which could be the root user.

+    messages in programs.

+    <p>
+    gettext insecurely creates temporary files in world-writeable
+    directories with predictable names.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="low">
+    <p>
+    A local attacker could create symbolic links in the temporary files
+    directory, pointing to a valid file somewhere on the filesystem. When
+    gettext is called, this would result in file access with the rights of
+    the user running the utility, which could be the root user.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All gettext users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=sys-devel/gettext-0.14.1-r1"</code>
