  <title>libvpx: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code</title>
  <synopsis>
    Timothy B. Terriberry discovered that libvpx contains an integer overflow
    vulnerability in the processing of video streams that may allow
    user-assisted execution of arbitrary code.

  <affected>
    <package name="media-libs/libvpx" auto="yes" arch="*">

  <background>
    <p>
    libvpx is the VP8 codec SDK used to encode and decode video streams,
    typically within a WebM format media file.
    </p>

  <description>
    <p>
    libvpx is vulnerable to an integer overflow vulnerability when
    processing crafted VP8 video streams.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted media
    file, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the
    privileges of the user running the application, or a Denial of Service.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All libvpx users should upgrade to the latest stable version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=media-libs/libvpx-0.9.5&quot;</code>
    <p>
    Packages which depend on this library may need to be recompiled. Tools
    such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying some of these
    packages.
