+ <background>
+ <p>The Free Lossless Audio Codec (FLAC) library is the reference
+ implementation of the FLAC audio file format.

+ <description>
+ <p>A stack-based buffer overflow flaw has been discovered in FLAC.</p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted .flac
+ file using an application linked against FLAC, 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 FLAC users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
+
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-libs/flac-1.3.1-r1"
+ </code>
+
+ <p>Packages which depend on this library may need to be recompiled. Tools
+ such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying these packages.
