Recently disclosed vulnerabilities in the LZO and LZ4 compression libraries could allow remote code execution under 
certain circumstances. While these libraries are used by a large number of platforms and applications, not all programs 
may be vulnerable to exploitation. 

US-CERT recommends that all developers who either implement or import the LZO or LZ4 libraries into their software 
check for susceptibility to CVE-2014-4608 [ http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2014-4608 ], 
CVE-2014-4715 [ http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2014-4715 ], and CVE-2014-4611 [ 
http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2014-4611 ].

Users and administrators should apply software security updates as they become available.
