Synopsis
========

A vulnerability in lib3ds might allow a remote attacker to execute
arbitrary code.

Background
==========

lib3ds is a library for managing 3D-Studio Release 3 and 4 .3DS files.

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

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package              /     Vulnerable     /            Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  media-libs/lib3ds          < 2.0.0_rc1              >= 2.0.0_rc1 

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

An array index error has been discovered in lib3ds.

Impact
======

A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted 3DS
file using an application linked against lib3ds, possibly resulting in
execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or a
Denial of Service condition.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All lib3ds users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/lib3ds-2.0.0_rc1"

Packages which depend on this library may need to be recompiled. Tools
such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying some of these
packages.
