+ <description>
+ <p>Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in GNU cpio:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>The list_file function in GNU cpio contains a heap-based buffer
+ overflow vulnerability (CVE-2014-9112)
+ </li>
+ <li>A directory traversal vulnerability has been found in GNU cpio
+ (CVE-2015-1197)
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>A remote attacker may be able to entice a user to open a specially
+ crafted archive using GNU cpio, possibly resulting in execution of
+ arbitrary code, a Denial of Service condition, or overwriting arbitrary
+ files.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>All GNU cpio users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
+
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-arch/cpio-2.11-r3"
+ </code>
