+  <title>GNU shtool, ocaml-mysql: Insecure temporary file creation</title>
+  <synopsis>
+    GNU shtool and ocaml-mysql are vulnerable to symlink attacks, potentially
+    allowing a local user to overwrite arbitrary files.

+    <p>
+    GNU shtool is a compilation of small shell scripts into a single
+    shell tool. The ocaml-mysql package includes the GNU shtool code.
+    </p>

+  <description>
+    <p>
+    Eric Romang has discovered that GNU shtool insecurely creates
+    temporary files with predictable filenames (CAN-2005-1751). On closer
+    inspection, Gentoo Security discovered that the shtool temporary file,
+    once created, was being reused insecurely (CAN-2005-1759).

+  <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 a GNU shtool script is executed, this would result in the file
+    being 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>
+    All GNU shtool users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-util/shtool-2.0.1-r2"</code>
+    <p>
+    All ocaml-mysql users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-ml/ocaml-mysql-1.0.3-r1"</code>
