+  <description>
+    <p>
+    Tavis Ormandy of the Gentoo Linux Security Audit Team has discovered
+    that VMware Workstation searches for gdk-pixbuf loadable modules in an
+    untrusted, world-writable directory.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    A local attacker could create a malicious shared object that would be
+    loaded by VMware, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the
+    privileges of the user running VMware.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    The system administrator may create the file /tmp/rrdharan to prevent
+    malicious users from creating a directory at that location:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # touch /tmp/rrdharan</code>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All VMware Workstation users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=app-emulation/vmware-workstation-3.2.1.2242-r4&quot;</code>
