<p>
Tavis Ormandy of the Gentoo Linux Security Team discovered an integer
overflow in the ELF parser, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow.
The vendor has reported that an unrelated buffer overflow has been
discovered in the PE parser.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
Successful exploitation would require the victim to open a specially
crafted file using HT, potentially permitting an attacker to execute
arbitrary code.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All hteditor users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=app-editors/hteditor-0.8.0-r2&quot;</code>
</resolution>
