</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>A context-dependent attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code or
cause a Denial of Service condition.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>GMime 2.4.x users on the PPC64 architecture should upgrade to the latest
version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-libs/gmime-2.4.17"
</code>
<p>GMime 2.4.x users on other architectures should upgrade to the latest
version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-libs/gmime-2.4.15"
</code>
<p>GMime 2.2.x users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-libs/gmime-2.2.26"
</code>
<p>Packages which depend on this library may need to be recompiled. Tools
such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying some of these packages.
