+ Tavis Ormandy of the Google Security Team discovered a heap-based
+ overflow vulnerability in the NE2000 driver (CVE-2007-2893). He also
+ discovered a divide-by-zero error in the emulated floppy disk
+ controller (CVE-2007-2894).
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ A local attacker in the guest operating system could exploit these
+ issues to execute code outside of the virtual machine, or cause Bochs
+ to crash.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Bochs users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-emulation/bochs-2.3"</code>
+ </resolution>
