+    A buffer overflow vulnerability in the safer_name_suffix() function in
+    GNU cpio has been discovered.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted
+    archive file resulting in a stack-based buffer overflow, possibly
+    crashing the application. It is disputed whether the execution of
+    arbitrary code is possible.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All GNU cpio users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-arch/cpio-2.9-r1"</code>
