+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A local attacker could execute a specially crafted command on the host
+ running Linux Audit, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary
+ code with the privileges of the user running Linux Audit.

+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>

+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=sys-process/audit-1.7.3"</code>
