    <p>
    libvorbis is the reference implementation of the Xiph.org Ogg Vorbis
    audio file format. It is used by many applications for playback of Ogg
    Vorbis files.
    </p>

  <description>
    <p>
    Lucas Adamski reported that libvorbis does not correctly process file
    headers, related to static mode headers and encoding books.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could entice a user to play a specially crafted OGG
    Vorbis file using an application that uses libvorbis, 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 libvorbis users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-libs/libvorbis-1.2.3"</code>
