+ XV is an interactive image manipulation program for the X Window
+ System.

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Greg Roelofs has reported multiple input validation errors in XV
+ image decoders. Tavis Ormandy of the Gentoo Linux Security Audit Team
+ has reported insufficient validation in the PDS (Planetary Data System)
+ image decoder, format string vulnerabilities in the TIFF and PDS
+ decoders, and insufficient protection from shell meta-characters in
+ malformed filenames.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ Successful exploitation would require a victim to view a specially
+ created image file using XV, potentially resulting in the execution of
+ arbitrary code.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All XV users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=media-gfx/xv-3.10a-r11&quot;</code>
