+ A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted

+ arbitrary code is possible.

+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All GNU cpio users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-arch/cpio-2.9-r1"</code>
