- Description:
- The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200501-20
(o3read: Buffer overflow during file conversion)
Wiktor Kopec discovered that the parse_html function in o3read.c
copies any number of bytes into a 1024-byte t[] array.
Impact
Using a specially crafted file, possibly delivered by e-mail or
over the Web, an attacker may execute arbitrary code with the
permissions of the user running o3read.
Workaround
There is no known workaround at this time.

Solution:
All o3read users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-text/o3read-0.0.4"
