Both of the buffer overflows could result in the remote execution of
arbitrary code. Please note that the exploitability of the
vulnerabilities depends on how the library is used by other software
programs.

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