    <p>
    Mamoru Tasaka discovered that filenames of the image archives are not
    properly sanitized before being passed to decompression utilities like
    unrar and unzip, which use the system() libc library call.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could entice a user to open an archive with a
    specially crafted filename, resulting in arbitrary code execution with
    the privileges of the user running the application.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All cbrPager users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-misc/cbrpager-0.9.17"</code>
