Synopsis
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
A buffer overflow might lead to the execution of arbitrary code or a
Denial of Service.
Background
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
The Irrlicht Engine is an open source cross-platform high performance
realtime 3D engine written in C++.
Affected packages
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected

1 dev-games/irrlicht < 1.5 >=3D 1.5
Description
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
An unspecified component of the B3D loader is vulnerable to a buffer
overflow due to missing boundary checks.
Impact
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted .irr
file, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the
privileges of the user running the application, or a Denial of Service
(crash).
Workaround
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
All irrlicht users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=3Ddev-games/irrlicht-1.5"
