+ libextractor is a library used to extract metadata from arbitrary

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Luigi Auriemma has found two heap-based buffer overflows in
+ libextractor 0.5.13 and earlier: one of them occurs in the
+ asf_read_header function in the ASF plugin, and the other occurs in the
+ parse_trak_atom function in the Qt plugin.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ By enticing a user to open a malformed file using an application
+ that employs libextractor and its ASF or Qt plugins, an attacker could
+ execute arbitrary code in the context of the application running the
+ affected library.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All libextractor users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-libs/libextractor-0.5.14"</code>
