+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>A context-dependent attacker could cause an application linked against
+ hivex to pass a short or truncated hive 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>All hivex users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>

+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-misc/hivex-1.3.11"
+ </code>
