+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Tavis Ormandy of the Gentoo Linux Security Team discovered an integer
+ overflow in the ELF parser, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow.
+ The vendor has reported that an unrelated buffer overflow has been
+ discovered in the PE parser.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ Successful exploitation would require the victim to open a specially
+ crafted file using HT, potentially permitting an attacker to execute
+ arbitrary code.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All hteditor users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-editors/hteditor-0.8.0-r2"</code>
