    <background>
        <p>GNOME Shell provides core user interface functions for the GNOME desktop, like switching to windows and launching applications.

gettext contains the GNU locale utilities.

libcroco is a standalone CSS2 parsing and manipulation library.</p>
    </background>
    <description>
        <p>The cr_parser_parse_any_core function in libcroco&#39;s cr-parser.c does not limit recursion, leading to a denial of service via a stack overflow when trying to parse crafted CSS.

Gnome Shell and gettext bundle libcroco in their own sources and thus are potentially vulnerable as well.</p>
    </description>
    <impact type="normal">
        <p>An attacker with control over the input to the library can cause a denial of service.</p>
    </impact>
    <workaround>
        <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
    </workaround>
    <resolution>
        <p>All gettext users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
        
        <code>
          # emerge --sync
          # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-devel/gettext-0.21"
        </code>
        
        <p>All Gnome Shell users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
        
        <code>
          # emerge --sync
          # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=gnome-base/gnome-shell-3.36.7"
        </code>
        
        <p>All libcroco users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
        
        <code>
