Background ========= lib3ds is a library for managing 3D-Studio Release 3 and 4 .3DS files. Affected packages ================ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 media-libs/lib3ds < 2.0.0_rc1 > = 2.0.0_rc1 Description ========== An array index error has been discovered in lib3ds. Impact ===== A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted 3DS file using an application linked against lib3ds, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition. Workaround ========= There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========= All lib3ds users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "> =media-libs/lib3ds-2.0.0_rc1" Packages which depend on this library may need to be recompiled. Tools such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying some of these packages.
