+ Diego E. Petteno` reported multiple integer overflows in glib/gbase64.c
+ when converting a long string from or to a base64 representation.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could entice a user or automated system to perform a
+ base64 conversion via an application using GLib, possibly resulting in
+ the execution of arbitrary code.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All GLib 2.18 users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-libs/glib-2.18.4-r1"</code>

+ All GLib 2.16 users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-libs/glib-2.16.6-r1"</code>
