+ A buffer overflow vulnerability has been discovered in libsndfile.

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ libsndfile is a library for reading and writing various formats of
+ audio files including WAV and FLAC.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Robert Buchholz of the Gentoo Security team discovered that the
+ flac_buffer_copy() function does not correctly handle FLAC streams with
+ variable block sizes which leads to a heap-based buffer overflow
+ (CVE-2007-4974).
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by enticing a user
+ to open a specially crafted FLAC file or network stream with an
+ application using libsndfile. This might lead to the execution of
+ arbitrary code with privileges of the user playing the file.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All libsndfile users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-libs/libsndfile-1.0.17-r1"</code>
