+ <background>
+ <p>A library that provides Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1, as

+ management, and Distinguished Encoding Rules (DER, as per X.690) encoding
+ and decoding functions.

+ <description>
+ <p>Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in GNU Libtasn1. Please
+ review the referenced CVE identifiers for details.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>A remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the
+ privileges of the process, cause a Denial of Service condition, or have
+ other unspecified impacts.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>All GNU Libtasn1 users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
+
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-libs/libtasn1-4.12-r1"
+ </code>
+
+ <p>Packages which depend on this library may need to be recompiled. Tools
+ such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying some of these packages.
