  <description>
    <p>Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in libgcrypt. Please
      review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>Side-channel attacks can leak private key information. A separate
      critical bug allows an attacker who obtains 4640 bits from the RNG to
      trivially predict the next 160 bits of output.
    </p>
    
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>All libgcrypt users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-libs/libgcrypt-1.7.3"
