Impact |
42 |
====== |
43 |
|
44 |
A remote attacker can entice a user to read crafted modules or ITP |
45 |
files, which may trigger a buffer overflow resulting in the execution |
46 |
of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the |
47 |
application. |
48 |
|
49 |
Workaround |
50 |
========== |

52 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
53 |
|
54 |
Resolution |
55 |
========== |
56 |
|
57 |
All ModPlug users should upgrade to the latest version: |
58 |
|
59 |
# emerge --sync |
60 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/libmodplug-0.8-r1" |
