+    Multiple vulnerabilities in Comix may lead to execution of arbitrary

+    <p>
+    Comix is a GTK comic book viewer.

+  <description>
+    <p>
+    Comix does not properly sanitize filenames containing shell
+    metacharacters when they are passed to the rar, unrar, or jpegtran
+    programs (CVE-2008-1568). Comix also creates directories with
+    predictable names (CVE-2008-1796).
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    A remote attacker could exploit the first vulnerability by enticing a
+    user to use Comix to open a file with a specially crafted filename,
+    resulting in the execution of arbitrary commands. The second
+    vulnerability could be exploited by a local attacker to cause a Denial
+    of Service by creating a file or directory with the same filename as
+    the predictable filename used by Comix.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All Comix users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-gfx/comix-3.6.4-r1"</code>
