R is a GPL licensed implementation of S, a language and environment for
|
|
statistical computing and graphics. PCRE is a library providing
|
|
functions for Perl-compatible regular expressions.
|

|
|
<description>
|
|
<p>
|
|
R includes a copy of PCRE which is vulnerable to multiple buffer
|
|
overflows and memory corruptions vulnerabilities (GLSA 200711-30).
|

<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
An attacker could entice a user to process specially crafted regular
|
|
expressions with R, which could possibly lead to the execution of
|
|
arbitrary code, a Denial of Service or the disclosure of sensitive
|
|
information.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All R users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-lang/R-2.2.1-r1"</code>
