    <p>
    Cscope is a developer's tool for browsing source code.

    <p>
    James Peach of Apple discovered a stack-based buffer overflow in
    cscope's handling of long file system paths (CVE-2009-0148). Multiple
    stack-based buffer overflows were reported in the putstring function
    when processing an overly long function name or symbol in a source code
    file (CVE-2009-1577).
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted
    source file, possibly resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary
    code 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 Cscope users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-util/cscope-15.7a"</code>
  </resolution>
