Synopsis
========

A buffer overflow in Lua might allow context-dependent attackers to
execute arbitrary code.

Background
==========

Lua is a powerful, efficient, lightweight, embeddable scripting
language. It supports procedural programming, object-oriented
programming, functional programming, data-driven programming, and data
description.

Affected packages
=================

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package              /     Vulnerable     /            Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  dev-lang/lua                < 5.1.5-r4               >= 5.1.5-r4

Description
===========

A buffer overflow was discovered in the vararg functions in ldo.c in
Lua.

Impact
======

Context-dependent could cause a Denial of Service condition or execute
arbitrary code.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All Lua users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-lang/lua-5.1.5-r4"
