Synopsis
========

An insecure temporary file usage has been reported in Minitube,
possibly allowing symlink attacks.

Background
==========

Minitube is a Qt4 YouTube desktop client.

Affected packages
=================

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package              /     Vulnerable     /            Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  media-video/minitube          < 1.6                       >= 1.6

Description
===========

TomᚠPružina reported that Minitube does not handle temporary files
securely.

Impact
======

A local attacker could perform symlink attacks to overwrite arbitrary
files with the privileges of the user running the application.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All Minitube users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-video/minitube-1.6"
