  <affected>
    <package name="dev-util/cscope" auto="yes" arch="*">
      <unaffected range="ge">15.5-r6</unaffected>
      <vulnerable range="lt">15.5-r6</vulnerable>

  <background>
    <p>
    Cscope is a developer's tool for browsing source code.
    </p>
  </background>
  <description>
    <p>
    Cscope does not verify the length of file names sourced in
    #include statements.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A user could be enticed to source a carefully crafted file which
    will allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code with the permissions
    of the user running Cscope.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All Cscope users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=dev-util/cscope-15.5-r6&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
