+ <p>
+ Mike Wiacek of the Google Security Team reported a buffer overflow in
+ the ARC2 module when processing a large ARC2 key length.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could entice a user or automated system to decrypt an
+ ARC2 stream in an application using PyCrypto, possibly resulting in the
+ execution of arbitrary code or a Denial of Service.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All PyCrypto users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-python/pycrypto-2.0.1-r8"</code>
