  <background>
    <p>libmikmod is a library to play a wide range of module formats.</p>
  </background>
  <description>
    <p>Multiple boundary errors have been found in load_it.c in libmikmod,
      which may cause a buffer overflow.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>A remote attacker could entice a user to open specially crafted files in
      an application linked against libmikmod, possibly resulting in execution
      of arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running the
      application, or Denial of Service.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>All libmikmod 3.2 users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose
      "&gt;=media-libs/libmikmod-3.2.0_beta2-r3"
    </code>
    
    <p>All libmikmod 3.1 users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-libs/libmikmod-3.1.12-r1"
    </code>
    
    <p>Packages which depend on this library may need to be recompiled. Tools
      such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying some of these packages.
