+    multidimensional data. It is developed by the NASA.

+    <p>
+    Leon Juranic reported multiple heap-based buffer overflows for instance
+    in the ReadAEDRList64(), SearchForRecord_r_64(), LastRecord64(), and
+    CDFsel64() functions.

+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted CDF
+    file, 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 CDF users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=sci-libs/cdf-3.3.0&quot;</code>
