    realtime 3D engine written in C++.

  <description>
    <p>
    An unspecified component of the B3D loader is vulnerable to a buffer
    overflow due to missing boundary checks.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted .irr
    file, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the
    privileges of the user running the application, or a Denial of Service
    (crash).
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All irrlicht users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-games/irrlicht-1.5"</code>
  </resolution>
