TITLE:
Gentoo update for eog

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA34582

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/34582/

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

The vulnerability is caused due to eog using the current working
directory as part of the module search path, which can be exploited
to e.g. execute arbitrary Python code with the privileges of another
user by tricking the user into executing eog in a directory
containing a Python file named like one of the modules eog uses.

SOLUTION:
Update to "media-gfx/eog-2.22.3-r3" or later.
