Synopsis
========

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in libvpx, the worst of which
could result in the execution of arbitrary code.

Background
==========

libvpx is the VP8 codec SDK used to encode and decode video streams,
typically within a WebM format media file.

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

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package              /     Vulnerable     /            Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  media-libs/libvpx            < 1.8.1                *>= 1.7.0-r1
                                                            *>= 1.8.1

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

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

Impact
======

A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted media
file, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the
privileges of the user running the application, or a Denial of Service.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All libvpx 1.7.x users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/libvpx-1.7.0-r1"

All libvpx 1.8.x users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/libvpx-1.8.1"
