Synopsis
========
Cscope is vulnerable to multiple buffer overflows that could lead to
the execution of arbitrary code.
Background
==========
Cscope is a developer's tool for browsing source code.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 dev-util/cscope < 15.5-r6 >= 15.5-r6
Description
===========
Cscope does not verify the length of file names sourced in #include
statements.
Impact
======
A user could be enticed to source a carefully crafted file which will
allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code with the permissions of
the user running Cscope.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All Cscope users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-util/cscope-15.5-r6"
References
==========
