    Tatsuhiro Tsujikawa reported a buffer overflow in
    DHTRoutingTableDeserializer.cc (CVE-2009-3575) and a format string
    vulnerability in the AbstractCommand::onAbort() function in
    src/AbstractCommand.cc (CVE-2009-3617).
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote, unauthenticated attacker could possibly execute arbitrary
    code with the privileges of the user running the application or cause a
    Denial of Service (application crash).
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    Do not use DHT (CVE-2009-3575) and disable logging (CVE-2009-3617).
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All aria2 users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=net-misc/aria2-1.6.3&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
