+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A local attacker could entice a user to run Gnumeric from a directory
+ containing a specially crafted python module, resulting in the
+ execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running
+ Gnumeric.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ Do not run "gnumeric" from untrusted working directories.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Gnumeric users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-office/gnumeric-1.8.4-r1"</code>
