TITLE:
Gentoo update for gccxml

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA36682

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/36682/

DESCRIPTION:
Gentoo has issued an update for gccxml. 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 "find_flags" script using
temporary files in an insecure manner. This can be exploited to e.g.
overwrite arbitrary files via symlink attacks.

SOLUTION:
Update to "dev-cpp/gccxml-0.9.0_pre20090516" or later.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Dmitry E. Oboukhov
