Background ========== Cscope is a developer's tool for browsing source code. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 dev-util/cscope < 15.5-r6 >= 15.5-r6 Description =========== Cscope does not verify the length of file names sourced in #include statements. Impact ====== A user could be enticed to source a carefully crafted file which will 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-r6" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2004-2541 http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2004-2541 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200606-10.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.
