+ <background>
+ <p>
+ The Common Data Format library is a scientific data management package
+ which allows programmers and application developers to manage and
+ manipulate scalar, vector, and multi-dimensional data arrays in a
+ platform independent fashion.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Alfredo Ortega (Core Security Technologies) reported a boundary error
+ within the Read32s_64() function when processing CDF files.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted CDF
+ file, possibly resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary code with
+ the privileges of the user running the application.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Common Data Format library users should upgrade to the latest
+ version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=sci-libs/cdf-3.2.1&quot;</code>
