    Gentoo Linux developer Tavis Ormandy found a format string bug in
    Dillo's handling of messages in a_Interface_msg().
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    An attacker could craft a malicious web page which, when accessed
    using Dillo, would trigger the format string vulnerability and
    potentially execute arbitrary code with the rights of the user running
    Dillo.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All Dillo users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=www-client/dillo-0.8.3-r4"</code>
