    will allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code with the permissions
    of the user running Cscope.
    </p>

  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All Cscope users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-util/cscope-15.5-r6"</code>
