+ <p>blktrace shows detailed information about what is happening on a block
+ device IO queue.

+ <description>
+ <p>A crafted file could cause a buffer overflow in the ‘dev_map_read’
+ function because the device and devno arrays are too small.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted file
+ using blktrace, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with
+ the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>All blktrace users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>

+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose
