+  <title>Cscope: Insecure creation of temporary files</title>
+  <synopsis>
+    Cscope is vulnerable to symlink attacks, potentially allowing a local user
+    to overwrite arbitrary files.

+    Cscope creates temporary files in world-writable directories with
+    predictable names.

+  <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 Cscope is executed, this would result in the file being
+    overwritten 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 Cscope users should upgrade to the latest version:

+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-util/cscope-15.5-r2"</code>
