    It was discovered that Gentoo’s OpenDKIM ebuild does not properly set
      permissions or place the pid file in a safe directory.
  
Impact :

    A local attacker could escalate privileges.
  
Workaround :

    Users should ensure the proper permissions are set as discussed in the
      referenced bugs."
