+    There is a remotely exploitable bug in XChat 2.0.6 that could lead to a
+    denial of service attack.  Gentoo wishes to thank lloydbates for discovering
+    this bug, as well as jcdutton and rac for submitting patches to fix the bug.

+  <impact type="medium">
+    <p>
+    A malformed DCC packet sent by a remote attacker can cause XChat to crash.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    For Gentoo users, xchat-2.0.6 was marked ~arch (unstable) for most
+    architectures.  Since it was never marked as stable in the portage tree,
+    only xchat users who have explictly added the unstable keyword to
+    ACCEPT_KEYWORDS are affected.  Users may updated affected machines to the
+    patched version of xchat using the following commands:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge sync
+    # emerge -pv '&gt;=net-irc/xchat-2.0.6-r1'
+    # emerge '&gt;=net-irc/xchat-2.0.6-r1'
+    # emerge clean</code>
+    <p>
+    This assumes that users are running with ACCEPT_KEYWORDS enabled for their
+    architecture.
+    </p>
