(OpenLDAP: Insecure usage of /tmp during installation)

    Tavis Ormandy of the Gentoo Linux Security Team has discovered that the
    file gencert.sh distributed with the Gentoo ebuild for OpenLDAP does
    not exit upon the existence of a directory in /tmp during installation
    allowing for directory traversal.
  
Impact :

    A local attacker could create a symbolic link in /tmp and potentially
    overwrite arbitrary system files upon a privileged user emerging
    OpenLDAP.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time."
