Background
==========
Ant is a Java-based build tool similar to ‘make’ that uses XML
configuration files.
Affected packages
=================
——————————————————————-
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
——————————————————————-
1 dev-java/ant < 1.10.8 >= 1.10.8
Description
===========
Apache Ant was found to be using multiple insecure temporary files
which may disclose sensitive information or execute code from an unsafe
local location.
Impact

A local attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the
privileges of the process, or cause a Denial of Service condition.
Workaround
