+ <description>
+ <p>
+ James Peach of Apple discovered a stack-based buffer overflow in
+ cscope's handling of long file system paths (CVE-2009-0148). Multiple
+ stack-based buffer overflows were reported in the putstring function
+ when processing an overly long function name or symbol in a source code
+ file (CVE-2009-1577).
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted
+ source file, possibly resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary
+ code with the privileges of the user running the application.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Cscope users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-util/cscope-15.7a"</code>
