+ <background>
+ <p>bsdiff and bspatch are tools for building and applying patches to binary
+ files.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>It was discovered that the implementation of bspatch did not check for a
+ negative value on numbers of bytes read from the diff and extra streams.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>A remote attacker could entice a user to apply a specially crafted patch
+ using bspatch, 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 Binary diff users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
+
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-util/bsdiff-4.3-r4"
+ </code>
