Squashfs is a compressed read-only filesystem for Linux. Squashfs is + intended for general read-only filesystem use, for archival use (i.e. in + cases where a .tar.gz file may be used), and in constrained block + device/memory systems (e.g. embedded systems) where low overhead is + needed. +

+
+ +

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in SQUASHFS. Please review + the CVE identifiers referenced below for details. +

+
+ +

A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted .sqsh + file using unsquashfs; possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary + code with the privileges of the process, or a Denial of Service + condition. +

+
+ +

There is no known workaround at this time.

+
+ +

All squashfs-tools users should upgrade to the latest version:

+ + + # emerge --sync + # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-fs/squashfs-tools-4.3" + +
