    <p>
    James Vega reported an untrusted search path vulnerability in the

    related to CVE-2008-5983.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A local attacker could entice a user to run the Eye of GNOME from a
    directory containing a specially crafted python module, resulting in
    the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running
    the application.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    Do not run "eog" from untrusted working directories.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All Eye of GNOME users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=media-gfx/eog-2.22.3-r3&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
