+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ By creating a specially crafted data stream, attackers can
+ overwrite data structures for applications that use Pngcrush, resulting
+ in a Denial of Service and potentially arbitrary code execution.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Pngcrush users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=media-gfx/pngcrush-1.6.2&quot;</code>
