libuv: Buffer overflow

libuv: Buffer overflow A buffer overflow in libuv might allow remote attacker(s) to execute arbitrary code. libuv 2020-09-29 2020-09-29 742890 remote 1.39.0 1.39.0

libuv is a multi-platform support library with a focus on asynchronous I/O.

libuv used an incorrect buffer size for paths, causing a buffer overflow.

A remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the process, or cause a Denial of Service condition.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All libuv users should upgrade to the latest version:


      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/libuv-1.39.0"
