<impact type="normal">
<p>A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted
document using Graphite or an application linked against Graphite
library, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the
privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>All Graphite users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-gfx/graphite2-1.3.8-r1"
</code>
</resolution>
