<impact type="normal"> |
| 46 |
<p>A context-dependent attacker could cause an application linked against |
| 47 |
libevent to pass an excessively long input through evbuffer, possibly |
| 48 |
resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the |
| 49 |
process or a Denial of Service condition. |

<workaround> |

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

</workaround> |

<resolution> |

<p>All libevent users should upgrade to the latest version:</p> |
