+ <affected>
+ <package name="app-arch/rpm" auto="yes" arch="*">

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Vladimir Mosgalin has reported that when processing certain packages,
+ RPM incorrectly allocates memory for the packages, possibly causing a
+ heap-based buffer overflow.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ An attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted RPM package
+ and execute code with the privileges of that user if certain locales
+ are set.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All RPM users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-arch/rpm-4.4.6-r3"</code>
