widely-known recent LD_AUDIT and $ORIGIN issues. For further
information please consult the CVE entries referenced below.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="high">
<p>
A local attacker could execute arbitrary code as root, cause a Denial
of Service, or gain privileges. Additionally, a user-assisted remote
attacker could cause the execution of arbitrary code, and a
context-dependent attacker could cause a Denial of Service.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All GNU C library users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=sys-libs/glibc-2.11.2-r3&quot;</code>
</resolution>
