The Execute class in shellutils in logilab-commons before 0.61.0 uses tempfile.mktemp, which allows local users to have an unspecified impact by pre-creating the temporary file.

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - The Execute class in shellutils in logilab-commons before 0.61.0 uses tempfile.mktemp, which allows local
    users to have an unspecified impact by pre-creating the temporary file. (CVE-2014-1839)

The remote Solaris system is missing necessary patches to address security updates :

  - The (1) extract_keys_from_pdf and (2) fill_pdf functions     in pdf_ext.py in logilab-commons before 0.61.0 allows     local users to overwrite arbitrary files and possibly     have other unspecified impact via a symlink attack on     /tmp/ toto.fdf. (CVE-2014-1838)

  - The Execute class in shellutils in logilab-commons     before 0.61.0 uses tempfile.mktemp, which allows local     users to have an unspecified impact by pre-creating the     temporary file. (CVE-2014-1839)

The Python logilab-common module was updated to fix several temporary file problems, one in the PDF generator (CVE-2014-1838) and one in the shellutils helper (CVE-2014-1839).

New upstream pylint stack. disable-msg pragma is now just disable.
Also watch out for more E1101 introspection false-positives.
