+  <description>
+    <p>
+    Rsync version 2.5.6 contains a vulnerability that can be used to run
+    arbitrary code.  The Gentoo infrastructure team has some reasonably good
+    forensic evidence that this exploit may have been used in combination with
+    the Linux kernel do_brk() vulnerability (see GLSA 200312-02) to exploit a
+    rsync.gentoo.org rotation server (see GLSA-200312-01.)
+    </p>
+    <p>
+    Please see http://lwn.net/Articles/61541/ for the security advisory released
+    by the rsync development team.

+  <impact type="high">
+    <p>
+    A remote attacker could execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the
+    root user.

+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    To address this vulnerability, all Gentoo users should read GLSA-200312-02
+    and ensure that all systems are upgraded to a version of the Linux kernel
+    without the do_brk() vulnerability, and upgrade to version 2.5.7 of rsync:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge sync
+    # emerge -pv '&gt;=net-misc/rsync-2.5.7'
+    # emerge '&gt;=net-misc/rsync-2.5.7'
+    # emerge clean</code>
+    <p>
+    Review your /etc/rsync/rsyncd.conf configuration file; ensure that the use
+    chroot="no" command is commented out or removed, or change use chroot="no"
+    to use chroot="yes".  Then, if necessary, restart rsyncd:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # /etc/init.d/rsyncd restart</code>
+  </resolution>
