PACKAGE : lv
SUMMARY : arbitrary command execution
DATE : 2003-05-19 07:10 UTC
EXPLOIT : local
VERSIONS AFFECTED : <lv-4.49.5
FIXED VERSION : >=lv-4.49.5

Previous versions of lv read the file .lv in the current directory.
Becuse this file could be created by other users and could contain
malicious commands to execute upon viewing certain files this is
considered a potential local root exploit.
SOLUTION
It is recommended that all Gentoo Linux users who are running
app-text/lv upgrade to lv-4.49.5 as follows
emerge sync
emerge lv
emerge clean
