  <affected>
    <package name="app-arch/zoo" auto="yes" arch="*">

    <p>
    zoo is a file archiving utility for maintaining collections of
    files, written by Rahul Dhesi.
    </p>

  <description>
    <p>
    zoo is vulnerable to a new buffer overflow due to insecure use of
    the strcpy() function when trying to create an archive from certain
    directories or filenames.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    An attacker could exploit this issue by enticing a user to create
    a zoo archive of specially crafted directories and filenames, possibly
    leading to the execution of arbitrary code with the rights of the user
    running zoo.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All zoo users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=app-arch/zoo-2.10-r2&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
