+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Toth Andras has discovered a typographic mistake in the "fbgs" script,
+ shipped with fbida if the "fbcon" and "pdf" USE flags are both enabled.
+ This script runs "gs" without the -dSAFER option, thus allowing a
+ PostScript file to execute, delete or create any kind of file on the
+ system.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker can entice a vulnerable user to view a malicious
+ PostScript or PDF file with fbgs, which may result with the execution
+ of arbitrary code.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All fbida users with the "fbcon" and "pdf" USE flags both enabled
+ should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=media-gfx/fbida-2.03-r4&quot;</code>
