+ <p>abcm2ps is a program to convert abc files to Postscript files.</p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in abcm2ps:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>Boundary errors in the PUT0 and PUT1 macros, the trim_title()
+ function, or a long "-O" command line option can lead to a buffer
+ overflow (CVE-2010-3441).
+ </li>
+ <li>A vulnerability in the getarena() function in abc2ps.c can cause a
+ heap-based buffer overflow in abcm2ps (CVE-2010-4743).
+ </li>
+ <li>Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities (CVE-2010-4744).</li>
+ </ul>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>A remote attacker could entice a user to load a specially crafted ABC
+ file or use a long -O option on the command line, resulting in the
+ execution of arbitrary code.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>All abcm2ps users should upgrade to the latest stable version:</p>
+
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-sound/abcm2ps-5.9.13"
+ </code>
+
+ <p>NOTE: This is a legacy GLSA. Updates for all affected architectures are
+ available since August 27, 2010. It is likely that your system is already
+ no longer affected by this issue.
