+    Multiple vulnerabilities were found in WordNet, possibly allowing for the

+    Jukka Ruohonen initially reported a boundary error within the
+    searchwn() function in src/wn.c. A thorough investigation by the oCERT
+    team revealed several other vulnerabilities in WordNet:
+    </p>
+    <ul>
+    <li>Jukka Ruohonen and Rob Holland (oCERT) reported multiple boundary
+    errors within the searchwn() function in src/wn.c, the wngrep()
+    function in lib/search.c, the morphstr() and morphword() functions in
+    lib/morph.c, and the getindex() in lib/search.c, which lead to
+    stack-based buffer overflows.</li>
+    <li>Rob Holland (oCERT) reported two
+    boundary errors within the do_init() function in lib/morph.c, which
+    lead to stack-based buffer overflows via specially crafted
+    "WNSEARCHDIR" or "WNHOME" environment variables.</li>
+    <li>Rob Holland
+    (oCERT) reported multiple boundary errors in the bin_search() and
+    bin_search_key() functions in binsrch.c, which lead to stack-based
+    buffer overflows via specially crafted data files.</li>
+    <li>Rob Holland
+    (oCERT) reported a boundary error within the parse_index() function in
+    lib/search.c, which leads to a heap-based buffer overflow via specially
+    crafted data files.</li>
+    </ul>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <ul>
+    <li>In case the application is accessible e.g. via a web server,
+    a remote attacker could pass overly long strings as arguments to the
+    "wm" binary, possibly leading to the execution of arbitrary code.</li>
+    <li>A local attacker could exploit the second vulnerability via
+    specially crafted "WNSEARCHDIR" or "WNHOME" environment variables,
+    possibly leading to the execution of arbitrary code with escalated
+    privileges.</li>
+    <li>A local attacker could exploit the third and
+    fourth vulnerability by making the application use specially crafted
+    data files, possibly leading to the execution of arbitrary code.</li>
+    </ul>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All WordNet users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-dicts/wordnet-3.0-r2"</code>
