+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could entice a user or automated system to open a
+ specially crafted DOT file in an application using Graphviz, possibly
+ leading to the execution of arbitrary code.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Graphviz users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-gfx/graphviz-2.20.3"</code>
