    <p>
    F-Prot Antivirus version 4.6.7 fixes a heap-based buffer overflow, an
    infinite loop, and other unspecified vulnerabilities.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="high">
    <p>
    Among other weaker impacts, a remote attacker could send an e-mail
    containing a malicious file that would trigger the buffer overflow
    vulnerability and execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the
    user running F-Prot, which may be the root user.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All F-Prot users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=app-antivirus/f-prot-4.6.7&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
