| <background> |
| <p> |
| SPE is a cross-platform Python Integrated Development Environment |
| (IDE). |
| </p> |
| </background> |
| <description> |
| <p> |
| It was reported that due to an oversight all SPE's files are set as |
| world-writeable. |
| </p> |
| </description> |
| <impact type="normal"> |
| <p> |
| A local attacker could modify the executable files, causing arbitrary |
| code to be executed with the permissions of the user running SPE. |
| </p> |
| </impact> |
| <workaround> |
| <p> |
| There is no known workaround at this time. |
| </p> |
| </workaround> |
| <resolution> |
| <p> |
| All SPE users should upgrade to the latest version: |
| </p> |
| <code> |
| # emerge --sync |
| # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose dev-util/spe</code> |
| </resolution> |
