+    <p>
+    Dmitry E. Oboukhov reported that the IPSEC livetest tool does not
+    handle the ipseclive.conn and ipsec.olts.remote.log temporary files
+    securely.

+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    A local attacker could perform symlink attacks to execute arbitrary
+    code and overwrite arbitrary files with the privileges of the user
+    running the application.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All Openswan users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-misc/openswan-2.4.13-r2"</code>
