  <description>
    <p>The GetStatsFromLine() function in TPTEST is vulnerable to buffer
      overflows from STATS lines with long email and pwd fields.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>A remote attacker could send a specially-crafted STATS line, possibly
      resulting in arbitrary code execution or a Denial of Service condition.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>All TPTEST users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-analyzer/tptest-3.1.7-r2"
