+    Dmitry E. Oboukhov reported that the rccs and STUFF scripts do not

+    be further occurances of insecure temporary file usage.

+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    A local attacker could perform symlink attacks to 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>
+    LMBench has been removed from Portage. We recommend that users unmerge
+    LMBench:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --unmerge app-benchmarks/lmbench</code>
