  <title>mlterm: Integer overflow vulnerability</title>
  <synopsis>

    the execution of arbitrary code.

  <affected>
    <package name="x11-terms/mlterm" auto="yes" arch="*">
      <unaffected range="ge">2.9.2</unaffected>
      <vulnerable range="lt">2.9.2</vulnerable>
    </package>
  </affected>
  <background>
    <p>
    mlterm is a multi-lingual terminal emulator.
    </p>
  </background>
  <description>
    <p>
    mlterm is vulnerable to an integer overflow that can be triggered by
    specifying a large image file as a background. This only effects users
    that have compiled mlterm with the 'gtk' USE flag, which enables
    gdk-pixbuf support.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    An attacker can create a specially-crafted image file which, when used
    as a background by the victim, can lead to the execution of arbitrary
    code with the privileges of the user running mlterm.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    Re-compile mlterm without the 'gtk' USE flag.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All mlterm users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=x11-terms/mlterm-2.9.2&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
