  <description>
    <p>
    Joseph VanAndel has discovered a buffer overflow in Grip when
    processing large CDDB results.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A malicious CDDB server could cause Grip to crash by returning
    more then 16 matches, potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary
    code with the privileges of the user running the application.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    Disable automatic CDDB queries, but we highly encourage users to
    upgrade to 3.3.0.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All Grip users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-sound/grip-3.3.0"</code>
  </resolution>
