  <description>
    <p>Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in abcm2ps:</p>
    
    <ul>
      <li>Boundary errors in the PUT0 and PUT1 macros, the trim_title()
        function, or a long "-O" command line option can lead to a buffer
        overflow (CVE-2010-3441). 
      </li>
      <li>A vulnerability in the getarena() function in abc2ps.c can cause a
        heap-based buffer overflow in abcm2ps (CVE-2010-4743).
      </li>
      <li>Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities (CVE-2010-4744).</li>
    </ul>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>A remote attacker could entice a user to load a specially crafted ABC
      file or use a long -O option on the command line, resulting in the
      execution of arbitrary code.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>All abcm2ps users should upgrade to the latest stable version:</p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-sound/abcm2ps-5.9.13"
    </code>
    
    <p>NOTE: This is a legacy GLSA. Updates for all affected architectures are
      available since August 27, 2010. It is likely that your system is already
      no longer affected by this issue.
