+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Masanari Yamamoto discovered that Uim uses environment variables
+ incorrectly. This bug causes a privilege escalation if setuid/setgid
+ applications are linked to libuim. This bug only affects
+ immodule-enabled Qt (if you build Qt 3.3.2 or later versions with
+ USE="immqt" or USE="immqt-bc").
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A malicious local user could exploit this vulnerability to execute
+ arbitrary code with escalated privileges.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Uim users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-i18n/uim-0.4.9.1"</code>
