+  <title>mtink: Insecure tempfile handling</title>
+  <synopsis>
+    mtink is vulnerable to symlink attacks, potentially allowing a local user
+    to overwrite arbitrary files with the rights of the user running the
+    utility.

+    <p>
+    Tavis Ormandy from Gentoo Linux discovered that mtink uses insecure
+    permissions on temporary files.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    A local attacker could create symbolic links in the temporary files
+    directory, pointing to a valid file somewhere on the filesystem. When
+    mtink is executed, this would result in the file being overwritten with
+    the rights of the user running the utility, which could be the root
+    user.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All mtink users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=net-print/mtink-1.0.5&quot;</code>
