+ <p>
+ During a code review of the hfaxd server, the SuSE Security Team discovered
+ a format bug condition that allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary
+ code as the root user. However, the bug cannot be triggered in the default
+ hylafax configuration.

+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ Users are encouraged to perform an 'emerge sync' and upgrade the package to
+ the latest available version. Vulnerable versions of hylafax have been
+ removed from portage. Specific steps to upgrade:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge sync
+ # emerge -pv '&gt;=net-misc/hylafax-4.1.8'
+ # emerge '&gt;=net-misc/hylafax-4.1.8'
+ # emerge clean</code>
