<description>
<p>
Multiple buffer overflow and integer handling vulnerabilities have been
discovered in xv's image processing code. These vulnerabilities have been
found in the xvbmp.c, xviris.c, xvpcx.c and xvpm.c source files.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
An attacker might be able to embed malicious code into an image, which
would lead to the execution of arbitrary code under the privileges of the
user viewing the image.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All xv users should upgrade to the latest stable version:

<code>
# emerge sync
# emerge -pv ">=media-gfx/xv-3.10a-r7"
# emerge ">=media-gfx/xv-3.10a-r7"</code>
