  <description>
    <p>A buffer overflow in PLIB allows user-assisted remote attackers to
      execute arbitrary code via vectors involving a long error message, as
      demonstrated by a crafted acc file for TORCS.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>Remote attackers could execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the
      process.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>All PLIB users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --verbose --oneshot "&gt;=media-libs/plib-1.8.5-r1"
