    code through malicious ZOO archives.

    files, written by Rahul Dhesi.

  <description>
    <p>
    Jean-Sebastien Guay-Leroux discovered a boundary error in the
    fullpath() function in misc.c when processing overly long file and
    directory names in ZOO archives.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    An attacker could craft a malicious ZOO archive and entice someone
    to open it using zoo. This would trigger a stack-based buffer overflow
    and potentially allow execution of arbitrary code with the rights of
    the victim user.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All zoo users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-arch/zoo-2.10-r1"</code>
  </resolution>
