    A local attacker could place specially crafted log files into a log
    directory being analyzed by analog, e.g. /var/log/apache, resulting in
    a crash when being processed by the application.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>

  </workaround>
  <resolution>

    All Analog users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-admin/analog-6.0-r2"</code>
    <p>
    NOTE: Analog is now linked against the system bzip2 library.
