  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker can entice a user to read crafted modules or ITP
    files, which may trigger a buffer overflow resulting in the execution
    of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the
    application.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All ModPlug users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=media-libs/libmodplug-0.8-r1&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
