DESCRIPTION:
Gentoo has issues an update for multipath-tools. This fixes a
security issue, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to
bypass certain security restrictions.

A security issue is caused due to the "/var/run/multipathd.sock"
being world-writable, which can be exploited to e.g. send arbitrary
commands to the multipath daemon.

SOLUTION:
Update to "sys-fs/multipath-tools-0.4.8-r1" or later.
