A vulnerability has been identified in Gentoo, which could be exploited by local attackers to bypass security restrictions. This issue is due to an error in the "gencert.sh" script (distributed with the Gentoo ebuild for OpenLDAP) that handles temporary files in an insecure manner, which could allow malicious users to conduct symlink attacks and create or overwrite arbitrary files with the privileges of the user invoking the vulnerable application.
