Synopsis
========

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Graphite, the worst of
which could lead to the remote execution of arbitrary code.

Background
==========

Graphite is a “smart font” system developed specifically to handle the
complexities of lesser-known languages of the world.

Affected packages
=================

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package              /     Vulnerable     /            Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  media-gfx/graphite2          < 1.3.10                  >= 1.3.10 

Description
===========

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Graphite. Please
review the referenced CVE identifiers for details.

Impact
======

A remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the
privileges of the process, cause a Denial of Service condition, or have
other unspecified impacts.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All Graphite users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-gfx/graphite2-1.3.10"
