TITLE:
Gentoo update for muttprint

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA34439

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/34439/

DESCRIPTION:
Gentoo has issued an update for muttprint. This fixes a security
issue, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to perform
certain actions with escalated privileges.

The security issue is caused due to the script creating temporary
files in an insecure manner. This can be exploited to e.g. overwrite
arbitrary files via symlink attacks.

SOLUTION:
Update to "app-misc/muttprint-0.72d-r1" or later.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Dmitry E. Oboukhov
