+  <description>
+    <p>
+    A vulnerability has been discovered by Andi Kleen in the ptrace emulation
+    code for AMD64 platforms when eflags are processed, allowing a local user
+    to obtain elevated priveleges.  The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
+    project, http://cve.mitre.org, has assigned CAN-2004-0001 to this issue.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    Only users of the AMD64 platform are affected: in this scenario, a user may
+    be able to obtain elevated priveleges, including root access. However, no
+    public exploit is known for the vulnerability at this time.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no temporary workaround - a kernel upgrade is required. A list of
+    unaffected kernels is provided along with this announcement.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    Users are encouraged to upgrade to the latest available sources for
+    their system:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge sync
+    # emerge -pv your-favourite-sources
+    # emerge your-favourite-sources
+    # # Follow usual procedure for compiling and installing a kernel.
+    # # If you use genkernel, run genkernel as you would do normally.
+    </code>
+    <code>
+    # # IF YOUR KERNEL IS MARKED as "remerge required!" THEN
+    # # YOU SHOULD UPDATE YOUR KERNEL EVEN IF PORTAGE
+    # # REPORTS THAT THE SAME VERSION IS INSTALLED.
+    </code>
