Gentoo Linux - SSL Key Exposure via ssl-cert.eclass docert Function

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

The docert function in ssl-cert.eclass, when used by src_compile or src_install on Gentoo Linux, stores the SSL key in a binpkg, which allows local users to extract the key from the binpkg, and causes multiple systems that use this binpkg to have the same SSL key and certificate.
