  <description>
    <p>
    A heap-based buffer overflow has been reported in the
    cddb_read_disc_data() function in cddb.c when processing overly long
    CDDB data.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could entice a user to connect to a malicious CDDB
    server, possibly resulting in the remote 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 libcdaudio users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=media-libs/libcdaudio-0.99.12-r1&quot;</code>
