  <description>
    <p>
    Multiple vulnerabilities were found in glibc, amongst others the
    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>
