<impact type="normal">
<p>
Remote attackers can entice a user or automated system to open a
specially crafted file that triggers a buffer overread, causing a
Denial of Service. libbz2 and programs linking against it are also
affected.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>

</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-arch/bzip2-1.0.5"</code>
