  <description>
    <p>
    Luigi Auriemma found a heap-based buffer overflow in the
    it_read_envelope function which reads the envelope values for volume,
    pan and pitch of the instruments referenced in a ".it" (Impulse
    Tracker) file with a large number of nodes.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    By enticing a user to load a malicious ".it" (Impulse Tracker) file, an
    attacker may execute arbitrary code with the rights of the user running
    the application that uses a vulnerable DUMB library.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All users of DUMB should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=media-libs/dumb-0.9.3-r1&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
