  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted
    Radiance RGBE file, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary
    code.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All DevIL users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=media-libs/devil-1.7.7&quot;</code>
