+ <background>
+ <p>MCrypt is a replacement of the old unix crypt(1) utility.</p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in MCrypt:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>A boundary error in MCrypt could cause a stack-based buffer overflow
+ (CVE-2012-4409).
+ </li>
+ <li>MCrypt contains multiple format string errors (CVE-2012-4426).</li>
+ <li>MCrypt does not properly handle long file names, which could cause a
+ stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-2012-4527).
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted file
+ using MCrypt, 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>All MCrypt users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
+
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-crypt/mcrypt-2.6.8-r2"
+ </code>
