+ pinentry is a collection of simple PIN or passphrase entry dialogs
+ which utilize the Assuan protocol.

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Tavis Ormandy of the Gentoo Linux Security Audit Team has
+ discovered that the pinentry ebuild incorrectly sets the permissions of
+ the pinentry binaries upon installation, so that the sgid bit is set
+ making them execute with the privileges of group ID 0.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A user of pinentry could potentially read and overwrite files with
+ a group ID of 0.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All pinentry users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-crypt/pinentry-0.7.2-r2"</code>
