Background ========== STLport is a multi-platform C++ Standard Library implementation. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 dev-libs/STLport < 5.0.3 >= 5.0.3 Description =========== Two buffer overflows have been discovered, one in "print floats" and one in the rope constructor. Impact ====== Both of the buffer overflows could result in the remote execution of arbitrary code. Please note that the exploitability of the vulnerabilities depends on how the library is used by other software programs. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All STLport users should upgrade to the latest version. # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/STLport-5.0.3" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2007-0803 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-0803 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200703-07.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.
