+ <p>
+ Convert-UUlib provides a Perl interface to the uulib library, allowing
+ Perl applications to access data encoded in a variety of formats.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ A vulnerability has been reported in Convert-UUlib where a malformed
+ parameter can be provided by an attacker allowing a read operation to
+ overflow a buffer. The vendor credits Mark Martinec and Robert Lewis
+ with the discovery.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ Successful exploitation would permit an attacker to run arbitrary code
+ with the privileges of the user running the Perl application.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Convert-UUlib users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=dev-perl/Convert-UUlib-1.051&quot;</code>
