+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Marc Merlin and John Dong reported multiple vulnerabilities in JHead:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ A buffer overflow in the DoCommand() function when processing the cmd
+ argument and related to potential string overflows (CVE-2008-4575).
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ An insecure creation of a temporary file (CVE-2008-4639).
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ A error when unlinking a file (CVE-2008-4640).
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Insufficient escaping of shell metacharacters (CVE-2008-4641).
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code by enticing a
+ user or automated system to open a file with a long filename or via
+ unspecified vectors. It is also possible to trick a user into deleting
+ or overwriting files.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All JHead users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=media-gfx/jhead-2.84-r1&quot;</code>
+ </resolution>
