<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted Flash
|
|
file using a package linked against Win32 Codecs, possibly resulting in
|
|
execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or a
|
|
Denial of Service condition.

<resolution>
|
|
<p>Gentoo has discontinued support for Win32 Codecs. We recommend that
|
|
users unmerge Win32 Codecs:

<code>
|

# emerge --unmerge "media-libs/win32codecs"
