A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability was found in GNU FriBidi.
A remote attacker could possibly cause a memory corruption, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or cause a Denial of Service condition.
There is no known workaround at this time.
All FriBidi users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/fribidi-1.0.8"
