+ to a buffer overflow.

+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could craft a malicious webpage which, when
+ converted, would result in the execution of arbitrary code with the
+ rights of the user running Vilistextum.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Vilistextum users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=app-text/vilistextum-2.6.7&quot;</code>
