+ gtkdiskfree is a GTK-based GUI to show free disk space.

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Eric Romang discovered that gtkdiskfree insecurely creates a
+ predictable temporary file to handle command output.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A local attacker could create a symbolic link in the temporary
+ files directory, pointing to a valid file somewhere on the filesystem.
+ When gtkdiskfree is executed, this would result in the file being
+ overwritten with the rights of the user running the application.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All gtkdiskfree users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-admin/gtkdiskfree-1.9.3-r1"</code>
