  <description>
    <p>
    Multiple overflows have been found in the image processing code of
    xzgv, including an integer overflow in the PRF parsing code
    (CAN-2004-0994).
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    An attacker could entice a user to open or browse a
    specially-crafted image file, potentially resulting in the execution of
    arbitrary code with the rights of the user running xzgv.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All xzgv users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=media-gfx/xzgv-0.8-r1&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
