Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 media-video/kaffeine < 0.7.1-r2 >= 0.7.1-r2 Description =========== Kaffeine uses an unchecked buffer when fetching remote RAM playlists via HTTP.
