+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>A remote attacker, pretending to be the E17 window manager, could
+ possibly trigger an out-of-boundary heap write in feh while receiving an
+ IPC message. This could result in execution of arbitrary code with the
+ privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.

+ <workaround>
+ <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>All feh users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>

+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-gfx/feh-2.18.3"
