+Description: [CVE-2012-4527] Stack-based buffer overflow with long file names
+ .
+ A buffer overflow in mcrypt version 2.6.8 and earlier due to long filenames.
+ If a user were tricked into attempting to encrypt/decrypt specially crafted
+ long filename(s), this flaw would cause a stack-based buffer overflow that
+ could potentially lead to arbitrary code execution.
+ .
+ Note that this is caught by FORTIFY_SOURCE, which makes this a crash-only
+ bug on wheezy.
