+ <description>
+ <p>A vulnerability has been discovered in rxvt-unicode. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.</p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>in the Perl background extension, when an attacker can
+control the data written to the user&#39;s terminal and certain options are set.
+
+The &#34;background&#34; extension is automatically loaded if certain X resources are set such as &#39;transparent&#39; (see the full list at the top of src/perl/background[1]). So it is possible to be using this extension without realising it.</p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>All rxvt-unicode users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
+
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=x11-terms/rxvt-unicode-9.30"
+ </code>
