+  <title>E2fsprogs: Multiple buffer overflows</title>
+  <synopsis>
+    Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in E2fsprogs could result in the
+    execution of arbitrary code.

+  <background>
+    <p>
+    E2fsprogs provides utilities for use with the ext2 and ext3 file
+    systems including the libext2fs library that allows user-level programs
+    to manipulate an ext2 or ext3 file system.
+    </p>

+  <description>
+    <p>
+    Rafal Wojtczuk (McAfee AVERT Research) discovered multiple integer
+    overflows in libext2fs, that are triggered when processing information
+    from within the file system, resulting in heap-based buffer overflows.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    An attacker could entice a user to process a specially-crafted ext2 or
+    ext3 file system image (with tools linking against libext2fs, e.g.
+    fsck, forensic tools or Xen's pygrub), possibly resulting in the
+    execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the
+    application.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All E2fsprogs users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.40.3"</code>
