Synopsis

The remote Gentoo host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200710-12 (T1Lib: Buffer overflow)

 Hamid Ebadi discovered a boundary error in the intT1_EnvGetCompletePath() function which can lead to a buffer overflow when processing an overly long filename.
 Impact :

 A remote attacker could entice a user to open a font file with a specially crafted filename, possibly leading to the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application using T1Lib.
 Workaround :

 There is no known workaround at this time.

Solution

All T1Lib users should upgrade to the latest version:
 # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=media-libs/t1lib-5.0.2-r1'
