+ <title>mlterm: Integer overflow vulnerability</title>
+ <synopsis>

+ the execution of arbitrary code.

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ mlterm is a multi-lingual terminal emulator.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ mlterm is vulnerable to an integer overflow that can be triggered by
+ specifying a large image file as a background. This only effects users
+ that have compiled mlterm with the 'gtk' USE flag, which enables
+ gdk-pixbuf support.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ An attacker can create a specially-crafted image file which, when used
+ as a background by the victim, can lead to the execution of arbitrary
+ code with the privileges of the user running mlterm.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ Re-compile mlterm without the 'gtk' USE flag.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All mlterm users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=x11-terms/mlterm-2.9.2"</code>
