+ <background>
+ <p>
+ CHMlib is a library for the MS CHM (Compressed HTML) file format plus
+ extracting and HTTP server utils.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ When certain CHM files that contain tables and objects stored in pages
+ are parsed by CHMlib, an unsanitized value is passed to the alloca()
+ function resulting in a shift of the stack pointer to arbitrary memory
+ locations.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ An attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted CHM file,
+ resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the permissions of
+ the user viewing the file.
+ </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-0.39"</code>
+ </resolution>
