+  <synopsis>
+    libgtop improperly handles filenames, possibly allowing for the execution
+    of arbitrary code.

+  <background>
+    <p>
+    libgtop facilitates the libgtop_daemon, which is used by GNOME to
+    obtain information about remote systems.

+  <description>
+    <p>
+    Liu Qishuai discovered that glibtop_get_proc_map_s() in
+    sysdeps/linux/procmap.c does not properly allocate memory for storing a
+    filename, allowing certain filenames to cause the buffer to overflow on
+    the stack.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    By tricking a victim into executing an application that uses the
+    libgtop library (e.g. libgtop_daemon or gnome-system-monitor), a local
+    attacker could specify a specially crafted filename to be used by
+    libgtop causing a buffer overflow and possibly execute arbitrary code
+    with the rights of the user running the application.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All libgtop users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=gnome-base/libgtop-2.14.6&quot;</code>
