of arbitrary code.

syntax highlighting feature, project manager, makefile generator, gcc
and gdb front-end, and CVS integration.

<description>
<p>
In November 2005, Zone-H Research reported a boundary error in the
ktools library in the VGETSTRING() macro of kkstrtext.h, which may
cause a buffer overflow via an overly long input string.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
A remote attacker could entice a user to use a malicious file or input,
which could lead to the crash of Motor and possibly the execution of
arbitrary code.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All Motor 3.3.x users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=dev-util/motor-3.3.0-r1&quot;</code>
<p>
All motor 3.4.x users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=dev-util/motor-3.4.0-r1&quot;</code>
