+ chmlib library.

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Sven Tantau reported about a buffer overflow vulnerability in
+ chmlib. The function "_chm_decompress_block()" does not properly
+ perform boundary checking, resulting in a stack-based buffer overflow.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ By convincing a user to open a specially crafted ITSS or CHM file,
+ using KchmViewer or a program makes use of chmlib, a remote attacker
+ could execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running
+ the software.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All chmlib users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-libs/chmlib-0.37.4"</code>
+ <p>
+ All KchmViewer users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-text/kchmviewer-1.1"</code>
