+ <description>
+ <p>
+ gif2png contains a command line parsing vulnerability that may result
+ in a stack overflow due to an unexpectedly long input filename.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted
+ image, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the
+ privileges of the user running the application, or a Denial of Service.
+ Note that applications relying on gif2png to process images can also
+ trigger the vulnerability.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All gif2png users should upgrade to the latest stable version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-gfx/gif2png-2.5.1-r1"</code>
