  <description>
    <p>
    Unchecked use of strcpy() and *scanf() leads to several buffer
    overflows.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A user could be enticed to open a carefully crafted file which would
    allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code with the permissions of
    the user running Cscope.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All Cscope users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=dev-util/cscope-15.5.20060927&quot;</code>
