Synopsis
========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Libav, allowing attackers
to execute arbitrary code or cause Denial of Service.

Background
==========
Libav is a complete solution to record, convert and stream audio and
video.

Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 media-video/libav < 0.8.7 >= 0.8.7

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

Impact
======
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted media
file in an application linked against Libav, possibly resulting in
execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the application or a
Denial of Service condition.

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

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

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-video/libav-0.8.7"

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