auditing records.
</p>
</background>
<description>

processing overly long arguments.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
A local attacker could execute a specially crafted command on the host
running Linux Audit, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary
code with the privileges of the user running Linux Audit.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>

</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-process/audit-1.7.3"</code>
</resolution>
