Synopsis
========
An integer overflow in LZO might allow remote attackers to execute
arbitrary code or cause a Denial of Service condition.

Background
==========
LZO is an extremely fast compression and decompression library

Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 dev-libs/lzo < 2.08 >= 2.08

Description
===========
LZO is vulnerable to an integer overflow condition in the
"lzo1x_decompress_safe" function which could result in a possible
buffer overrun when processing maliciously crafted compressed input
data.

Impact
======
A remote attacker could send specially crafted compressed input data
possibly resulting in a Denial of Service condition or arbitrary code
execution.

Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========
All LZO users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/lzo-2.08"

References
==========
[ 1 ] CVE-2014-4607
