+  <title>CherryPy: Directory traversal vulnerability</title>
+  <synopsis>
+    CherryPy is vulnerable to a directory traversal that could allow attackers
+    to read and write arbitrary files.

+  <background>
+    <p>
+    CherryPy is a Python-based, object-oriented web development framework.
+    </p>
+  </background>
+  <description>
+    <p>
+    CherryPy does not sanitize the session id, provided as a cookie value,
+    in the FileSession._get_file_path() function before using it as part of
+    the file name.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to read and possibly
+    write arbitrary files on the web server, or to hijack valid sessions,
+    by providing a specially crafted session id. This only affects
+    applications using file-based sessions.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    Disable the "FileSession" functionality by using "PostgresqlSession" or
+    "RamSession" session management in your CherryPy application.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All CherryPy 2.2 users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-python/cherrypy-2.2.1-r2"</code>
+    <p>
+    All CherryPy 3.0 users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-python/cherrypy-3.0.2-r1"</code>
