Synopsis
=======
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in libzip, the worst of which
might allow execution of arbitrary code.

Background
=========
libzip is a library for manipulating zip archives.

Affected packages
================
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package              /     Vulnerable     /            Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  dev-libs/libzip              < 0.10.1                  >= 0.10.1

Description
==========
Two vulnerabilities have been found in the "_zip_readcdir()" function
in zip_open.c of libzip:

* An incorrect loop construct, which could cause a heap-based buffer
  overflow (CVE-2012-1162).
* An integer overflow, which may not restrict operations within the
  memory buffer (CVE-2012-1163).

Impact
=====
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted ZIP
file, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the
privileges of the process, a Denial of Service condition, or
information leaks.

Workaround
=========
There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
=========
All libzip users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/libzip-0.10.1"
