+    <li>
+    Martin Vaeth reported multiple untrusted search path vulnerabilities
+    (CVE-2008-5843).
+    </li>
+    <li>Marcus Meissner of the SUSE Security Team reported that
+    temporary files are created with a predictable name (CVE-2008-5743).

+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    A local attacker could place a specially crafted Python module in the
+    current working directory or the /var/tmp directory, and entice a user
+    to run the PDFjam scripts, leading to the execution of arbitrary code
+    with the privileges of the user running the application. A local
+    attacker could also leverage symlink attacks to overwrite arbitrary
+    files.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All PDFjam users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-text/pdfjam-1.20-r1"</code>
