+    <p>Multiple integer overflow errors in libevent could cause a heap-based

+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>A context-dependent attacker could cause an application linked against
+      libevent to pass an excessively long input through evbuffer, possibly
+      resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the
+      process or a Denial of Service condition.

+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>All libevent users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
