<impact type="normal">
<p>A remote attacker could coerce the victim to run xdelta against a
malicious input file. This may be leveraged by an attacker to crash
xdelta and gain control of program execution.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>All xdelta users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-util/xdelta-3.0.10"
