A buffer overflow could occur when processing multipart form uploads.
An attacker could submit a crafted multipart form to trigger the buffer overflow and cause a denial of service.
There is no known workaround at this time.
All libapreq2 users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apache/libapreq2-2.17"
