Background ========== Cscope is a developer's tool for browsing source code. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 dev-util/cscope < 15.5.20060927 >= 15.5.20060927 Description =========== Unchecked use of strcpy() and *scanf() leads to several buffer overflows. Impact ====== A user could be enticed to open a carefully crafted file which would allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running Cscope. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All Cscope users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-util/cscope-15.5.20060927" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2006-4262 http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-4262 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200610-08.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
