    <p>
    Ulf Harnhammar discovered a format string bug in Weex that can be
    triggered when it is first run (or when its cache files are rebuilt,
    using the -r option).
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    An attacker could setup a malicious FTP server which, when
    accessed using Weex, could trigger the format string bug and end up
    executing arbitrary code with the rights of the user running Weex.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All Weex users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-ftp/weex-2.6.1.5-r1"</code>
  </resolution>
