Synopsis
========

Multiple vulnerabilities in Kazehakase could result in the execution of
arbitrary code.

Background
==========

Kazehakase is a web browser based on the Gecko engine.

Affected packages
=================

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package                /  Vulnerable  /                Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  www-client/kazehakase       < 0.5.0                      >= 0.5.0

Description
===========

Kazehakase includes a copy of PCRE which is vulnerable to multiple
buffer overflows and memory corruptions vulnerabilities (GLSA
200711-30).

Impact
======

A remote attacker could entice a user to open specially crafted input
(e.g bookmarks) with Kazehakase, which could possibly lead to the
execution of arbitrary code, a Denial of Service or the disclosure of
sensitive information.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All Kazehakase users should upgrade to the latest version:

    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-client/kazehakase-0.5.0"
