    <description>
        <p>There is an integer overflow leading to a buffer overflow when processing untrusted input via GMP&#39;s mpz_inp_raw function.</p>
    </description>
    <impact type="normal">
        <p>Untrusted input can cause a denial of service via segmentation fault.</p>
    </impact>
    <workaround>
        <p>Users can ensure no untrusted input is passed into GMP&#39;s mpz_inp_raw function.</p>
    </workaround>
    <resolution>
        <p>All GMP users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
        
        <code>
          # emerge --sync
          # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/gmp-6.2.1-r2"
        </code>
