+ SKK insecurely creates temporary files.

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ SKK is a Japanese input method for Emacs.

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ skkdic-expr.c insecurely writes temporary files to a location in the
+ form $TMPDIR/skkdic$PID.{pag,dir,db}, where $PID is the process ID.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A local attacker could create symbolic links in the directory where the
+ temporary files are written, pointing to a valid file somewhere on the
+ filesystem that is writable by the user running the SKK software. When
+ SKK writes the temporary file, the target valid file would then be
+ overwritten with the contents of the SKK temporary file.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All SKK Tools users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-i18n/skktools-1.2-r1"</code>
