  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could entice a user to process a specially crafted
    GIF image, 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>

    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=media-gfx/optipng-0.6.2-r1&quot;</code>
