  <description>
    <p>
    Tavis Ormandy of the Google Security Team discovered several
    vulnerabilities in the LZH decompression component used by LHa. The
    make_table function of unlzh.c contains an array index error and a
    buffer overflow vulnerability. The build_tree function of unpack.c
    contains a buffer underflow vulnerability. Additionally, unlzh.c
    contains a code that could run in an infinite loop.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    By enticing a user to uncompress a specially crafted archive, a remote
    attacker could cause a Denial of Service by CPU consumption or execute
    arbitrary code with the rights of the user running the application.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All LHa users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=app-arch/lha-114i-r6&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
