<p>
|
|
Ariel Berkman discovered that Vilistextum unsafely reads data into
|
|
an array without checking the length. This code vulnerability may lead
|
|
to a buffer overflow.

<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A remote attacker could craft a malicious webpage which, when
|
|
converted, would result in the execution of arbitrary code with the
|
|
rights of the user running Vilistextum.
|

</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.

|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All Vilistextum users should upgrade to the latest version:
|

<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-text/vilistextum-2.6.7"</code>
