vulnerability in the processing of video streams that may allow
user-assisted execution of arbitrary code.

<background>
<p>
libvpx is the VP8 codec SDK used to encode and decode video streams,
typically within a WebM format media file.
</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>
libvpx is vulnerable to an integer overflow vulnerability when
processing crafted VP8 video streams.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted media
file, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the
privileges of the user running the application, or a Denial of Service.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All libvpx users should upgrade to the latest stable version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=media-libs/libvpx-0.9.5&quot;</code>
<p>
Packages which depend on this library may need to be recompiled. Tools
such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying some of these
packages.
