+ xv is a multi-format image manipulation utility.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Multiple buffer overflow and integer handling vulnerabilities have been
+ discovered in xv's image processing code. These vulnerabilities have been
+ found in the xvbmp.c, xviris.c, xvpcx.c and xvpm.c source files.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ An attacker might be able to embed malicious code into an image, which
+ would lead to the execution of arbitrary code under the privileges of the
+ user viewing the image.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All xv users should upgrade to the latest stable version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge sync
+
+ # emerge -pv ">=media-gfx/xv-3.10a-r7"
+ # emerge ">=media-gfx/xv-3.10a-r7"</code>
