    <p>
    Luigi Auriemma reported a possible buffer overflow in the
    MBHttp::Download function of lib/http.cpp as well as several possible
    buffer overflows in lib/rdfparse.c.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could be able to execute arbitrary code or cause
    Denial of Service by making use of an overly long "Location" header in
    an HTTP redirect message from a malicious server or a long URL in
    malicious RDF feeds.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All libmusicbrainz users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=media-libs/musicbrainz-2.1.4&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
