TITLE:
Gentoo update for silvercity

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA15632

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/15632/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Privilege escalation

WHERE:
Local system

OPERATING SYSTEM:
Gentoo Linux 1.x
http://secunia.com/product/339/

DESCRIPTION:
Gentoo has issued an update for silvercity. This fixes a security
issue, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain
escalated privileges.

The problem is that the executable scripts "cgi-styler-form.py",
"cgi-styler.py", and "source2html.py" are created world-writable and
can be modified. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary code with
the privileges of the user running one of the modified scripts.

SOLUTION:
Update to "app-text/silvercity-0.9.5-r1" or later.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Jürgen Hötzel
