| 44 |
offsets provided by the bzip2 file, leading to a buffer overread. |

<p> |
| 49 |
Remote attackers can entice a user or automated system to open a |
| 50 |
specially crafted file that triggers a buffer overread, causing a |
| 51 |
Denial of Service. libbz2 and programs linking against it are also |
| 52 |
affected. |

# emerge --sync |
| 66 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-arch/bzip2-1.0.5"</code> |
