  <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 "&gt;=media-gfx/xv-3.10a-r7"
    # emerge "&gt;=media-gfx/xv-3.10a-r7"</code>
  </resolution>
