+	  <p>The recipe of the 'distcheck' target granted temporary
+world-write permissions on the extracted distdir.  This introduced
+a locally exploitable race condition for those who run "make distcheck"
+with a non-restrictive umask (e.g., 022) in a directory that was
+accessible by others.  A successful exploit would result in arbitrary
+code execution with the privileges of the user running "make distcheck".</p>
+	  <p>It is important to stress that this vulnerability impacts not only
+the Automake package itself, but all packages with Automake-generated
+makefiles.  For an effective fix it is necessary to regenerate the
+Makefile.in files with a fixed Automake version.</p>
