    <p>libsmi is a library that allows management applications to access SMI
      MIB module definitions.
    </p>
  </background>
  <description>
    <p>libsmi contains a buffer overflow vulnerability in the smiGetNode()
      function in lib/smi.c.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>A context-dependent attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code by
      way of a specially crafted Object Identifier (OID).
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>All libsmi users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-libs/libsmi-0.4.8-r1"
    </code>
    
    <p>Packages which depend on this library may need to be recompiled. Tools
      such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying these packages.
    </p>
    
    <p>NOTE: This is a legacy GLSA. Updates for all affected architectures are
      available since October 30, 2010. It is likely that your system is
      already no longer affected by this issue.
