|
|
Limin Wang has located a buffer overflow inside the put_words()
|
|
function in the abcm2ps code.

<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A remote attacker could convince the victim to download a
|
|
specially-crafted ABC file. Upon execution, this file would trigger the
|
|
buffer overflow and lead to the execution of arbitrary code with the
|
|
permissions of the user running abcm2ps.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All abcm2ps users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-sound/abcm2ps-3.7.21"</code>
