+               <desc>A security issue has been reported in po4a, which can be 
exploited by malicious, local users to perform certain actions with escalated 
privileges.
+                       The security issue is caused due to the "gettextize()" 
function in lib/Locale/Po4a/Po.pm creating the file 
"/tmp/gettextization.failed.po" in an insecure manner. This can be exploited 
via symlink attacks to e.g. overwrite arbitrary files with the permissions of 
the user running the po4a-gettextize tool.</desc>
