|
<p>A stack-based buffer overflow flaw has been discovered in FLAC.</p>

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

</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>All FLAC users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
|
|
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/flac-1.3.1-r1"
|
|
</code>
|
|
|
|
<p>Packages which depend on this library may need to be recompiled. Tools
|
|
such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying these packages.
