+  <synopsis>A vulnerability in Libtasn1 might cause a Denial of Service
+    condition.

+  <affected>
+    <package name="dev-libs/libtasn1" auto="yes" arch="*">
+      <unaffected range="ge">2.12</unaffected>
+      <vulnerable range="lt">2.12</vulnerable>
+    </package>
+  </affected>
+  <background>
+    <p>Libtasn1 is a library used to parse ASN.1 (Abstract Syntax Notation One)
+      objects, and perform DER (Distinguished Encoding Rules) decoding.
+    </p>
+  </background>
+  <description>
+    <p>Libtasn1 does not properly handle length fields when performing DER
+      decoding.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted
+      DER-encoded object in an application linked against Libtasn1, possibly
+      resulting in Denial of Service. 
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>All Libtasn1 users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
+    
+    <code>
+      # emerge --sync
+      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-libs/libtasn1-2.12"
+    </code>
+    
+    <p>Packages which depend on this library may need to be recompiled. Tools
+      such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying some of these packages.
+    </p>
