R is a GPL licensed implementation of S, a language and environment for |
40 |
statistical computing and graphics. PCRE is a library providing |
41 |
functions for Perl-compatible regular expressions. |

46 |
R includes a copy of PCRE which is vulnerable to multiple buffer |
47 |
overflows and memory corruptions vulnerabilities (GLSA 200711-30). |

<impact type="normal"> |
51 |
<p> |
52 |
An attacker could entice a user to process specially crafted regular |
53 |
expressions with R, which could possibly lead to the execution of |
54 |
arbitrary code, a Denial of Service or the disclosure of sensitive |
55 |
information. |
56 |
</p> |
57 |
</impact> |
58 |
<workaround> |
59 |
<p> |
60 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
61 |
</p> |
62 |
</workaround> |
63 |
<resolution> |
64 |
<p> |
65 |
All R users should upgrade to the latest version: |
66 |

67 |
<code> |
68 |
# emerge --sync |
69 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-lang/R-1.2.3"</code> |
