Gentoo Gentoolkit QPKG Insecure Temporary File Creation Vulnerability

The qpkg utility is affected by an unspecified insecure temporary file creation vulnerability. This issue is likely due to a design error that causes the application to fail to verify the existence of a file before writing to it.

An attacker may leverage this issue to overwrite arbitrary files with the privileges of an unsuspecting user that activates the vulnerable application.
