+ <p>SWFTools is a collection of SWF manipulation and generation utilities
+ written by Rainer Böhme and Matthias Kramm.

+ <description>
+ <p>Integer overflow errors in the "getPNG()" function in png.c and the
+ "jpeg_load()" function in jpeg.c could cause a heap-based buffer
+ overflow.

+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted PNG or
+ JPEG file, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the
+ privileges of the process, or a Denial of Service condition.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>Gentoo discontinued support for SWFTools. We recommend that users
+ unmerge swftools:
+ </p>
+
+ <code>
+ # emerge --unmerge "media-gfx/swftools"
+ </code>
+
+ <p>NOTE: Users could upgrade to "&gt;=media-gfx/swftools-0.9.1", however
+ these packages are not currently stable.
