+ overflow.

+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted CAF
+ file, resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary code with the
+ privileges of the user running the application.

+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All libsndfile users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-libs/libsndfile-1.0.19"</code>
