Synopsis
========

Apache Ant uses various insecure temporary files possibly allowing
local code execution.

Background
==========

Ant is a Java-based build tool similar to 'make' that uses XML
configuration files.

Affected packages
=================

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package              /     Vulnerable     /            Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  dev-java/ant                 < 1.10.8                  >= 1.10.8

Description
===========

Apache Ant was found to be using multiple insecure temporary files
which may disclose sensitive information or execute code from an unsafe
local location.

Impact
======

A local attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the
privileges of the process, or cause a Denial of Service condition.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All Apache Ant users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-java/ant-1.10.8"

References
==========
