+    <p>
+    PCRE is a Perl-compatible regular expression library. GLib includes a
+    copy of PCRE.
+    </p>

+  <description>
+    <p>
+    PCRE contains a buffer overflow vulnerability when processing a
+    character class containing a very large number of characters with
+    codepoints greater than 255.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="high">
+    <p>
+    A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a
+    specially crafted regular expression to an application making use of
+    the PCRE library, which could possibly lead to the execution of
+    arbitrary code or a Denial of Service.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All PCRE users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=dev-libs/libpcre-7.6-r1&quot;</code>
+    <p>
+    All GLib users should upgrade to the latest version:

+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=dev-libs/glib-2.14.6&quot;</code>
