    <p>
    POV-Ray is a well known open-source ray tracer.
    </p>
  </background>
  <description>
    <p>
    POV-Ray uses a statically linked copy of libpng to view and output PNG
    files. The version shipped with POV-Ray is vulnerable to CVE-2008-3964,
    CVE-2008-1382, CVE-2006-3334, CVE-2006-0481, CVE-2004-0768. A bug in
    POV-Ray's build system caused it to load the old version when your
    installed copy of libpng was >=media-libs/libpng-1.2.10.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    An attacker could entice a user to load a specially crafted PNG file as
    a texture, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the
    permissions of the user running the application.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All POV-Ray users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=media-gfx/povray-3.6.1-r4&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
