  <background>
    <p>SWFTools is a collection of SWF manipulation and generation utilities
      written by Rainer Böhme and Matthias Kramm.

  <description>
    <p>Integer overflow errors in the "getPNG()" function in png.c and the
      "jpeg_load()" function in jpeg.c could cause a heap-based buffer
      overflow.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted PNG or
      JPEG file, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the
      privileges of the process, or a Denial of Service condition.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>Gentoo discontinued support for SWFTools. We recommend that users
      unmerge swftools:
    </p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --unmerge "media-gfx/swftools"
    </code>
    
    <p>NOTE: Users could upgrade to "&gt;=media-gfx/swftools-0.9.1", however
      these packages are not currently stable.
    </p>
