+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could convince the victim to download a
+ specially-crafted ABC file. Upon execution, this file would trigger the
+ buffer overflow and lead to the execution of arbitrary code with the
+ permissions of the user running abcm2ps.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All abcm2ps users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-sound/abcm2ps-3.7.21"</code>
