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 ">Þv-java/ant-1.10.8"
