+ <title>libvpx: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ Timothy B. Terriberry discovered that libvpx contains an integer overflow
+ vulnerability in the processing of video streams that may allow
+ user-assisted execution of arbitrary code.

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ libvpx is the VP8 codec SDK used to encode and decode video streams,
+ typically within a WebM format media file.

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ libvpx is vulnerable to an integer overflow vulnerability when
+ processing crafted VP8 video streams.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted media
+ file, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the
+ privileges of the user running the application, or a Denial of Service.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All libvpx users should upgrade to the latest stable version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=media-libs/libvpx-0.9.5&quot;</code>
+ <p>
+ Packages which depend on this library may need to be recompiled. Tools
+ such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying some of these
+ packages.
