+  <background>
+    <p>
+    Postfix is Wietse Venema's mailer that attempts to be fast, easy to
+    administer, and secure, as an alternative to the widely-used Sendmail
+    program.
+    </p>
+  </background>
+  <description>
+    <p>
+    It has been discovered than Postfix leaks an epoll file descriptor when
+    executing external commands, e.g. user-controlled $HOME/.forward or
+    $HOME/.procmailrc files. NOTE: This vulnerability only concerns Postfix
+    instances running on Linux 2.6 kernels.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to reduce the
+    performance of Postfix, and possibly trigger an assertion, resulting in
+    a Denial of Service.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    Allow only trusted users to control delivery to non-Postfix commands.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All Postfix 2.4 users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=mail-mta/postfix-2.4.9"</code>
+    <p>
+    All Postfix 2.5 users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=mail-mta/postfix-2.5.5"</code>
