<title>AMD64 x86 emulation base libraries: Buffer overflow</title>
<synopsis>
The x86 emulation base libraries for AMD64 contain a vulnerable version of
zlib which could potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code.

<affected>
<package name="app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-baselibs" auto="yes" arch="AMD64">

<p>
The x86 emulation base libraries for AMD64 emulate the x86 (32-bit)
architecture on the AMD64 (64-bit) architecture.
</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>
Earlier versions of emul-linux-x86-baselibs contain a vulnerable
version of zlib, which may lead to a buffer overflow.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="high">
<p>
By creating a specially crafted compressed data stream, attackers can
overwrite data structures for applications that use the x86 emulation
base libraries for AMD64, resulting in a Denial of Service and
potentially arbitrary code execution.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All AMD64 x86 emulation base libraries users should upgrade to the
latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-baselibs</code>
</resolution>
