+ PDFlib is vulnerable to multiple overflows, which can potentially lead to

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ PDFlib is a library providing functions to handle PDF files. It
+ includes a modified TIFF library used to process TIFF images.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ The TIFF library is subject to several known vulnerabilities (see
+ GLSA 200410-11). Most of these overflows also apply to PDFlib.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could entice a user or web application to
+ process a carefully crafted PDF file or TIFF image using a
+ PDFlib-powered program. This can potentially lead to the execution of
+ arbitrary code with the rights of the program processing the file.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All PDFlib users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-libs/pdflib-5.0.4_p1"</code>
