Background ========== The Irrlicht Engine is an open source cross-platform high performance realtime 3D engine written in C++. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 dev-games/irrlicht < 1.5 >= 1.5 Description =========== An unspecified component of the B3D loader is vulnerable to a buffer overflow due to missing boundary checks. Impact ====== A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted .irr file, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application, or a Denial of Service (crash). Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All irrlicht users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-games/irrlicht-1.5" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2008-5876 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-5876 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200903-10.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.
