    <p>
    Two buffer overflows have been discovered, one in "print floats" and
    one in the rope constructor.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    Both of the buffer overflows could result in the remote execution of
    arbitrary code. Please note that the exploitability of the
    vulnerabilities depends on how the library is used by other software
    programs.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All STLport users should upgrade to the latest version.

    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-libs/STLport-5.0.3"</code>
