+ <background>
+ <p>
+ LinPopUp is a graphical application that acts as a frontend to
+ Samba client messaging functions, allowing a Linux desktop to
+ communicate with a Microsoft Windows computer that runs Winpopup.
+ </p>

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Stephen Dranger discovered that LinPopUp contains a buffer
+ overflow in string.c, triggered when replying to a remote user message.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could craft a malicious message that, when
+ replied using LinPopUp, would exploit the buffer overflow. This would
+ result in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the
+ user running LinPopUp.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All LinPopUp users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=net-im/linpopup-2.0.4-r1&quot;</code>
