+ <synopsis>Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in libzip, the worst of
+ which might allow execution of arbitrary code.

+ <background>
+ <p>libzip is a library for manipulating zip archives.</p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>Two vulnerabilities have been found in the "_zip_readcdir()" function in
+ zip_open.c of libzip:
+ </p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>An incorrect loop construct, which could cause a heap-based buffer
+ overflow (CVE-2012-1162).
+ </li>
+ <li>An integer overflow, which may not restrict operations within the
+ memory buffer (CVE-2012-1163).
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted ZIP
+ file, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the
+ privileges of the process, a Denial of Service condition, or information
+ leaks.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>All libzip users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
+
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-libs/libzip-0.10.1"
+ </code>
