+  <background>
+    <p>
+    The GNU C library defines various Unix-like "system calls" and other
+    basic facilities needed for a standard POSIX-like application to
+    operate.

+  <description>
+    <p>
+    Silvio Cesare discovered a potential information leak in glibc. It
+    allows LD_DEBUG on SUID binaries where it should not be allowed. This
+    has various security implications, which may be used to gain
+    confidentional information.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="low">
+    <p>
+    An attacker can gain the list of symbols a SUID application uses and
+    their locations and can then use a trojaned library taking precendence
+    over those symbols to gain information or perform further exploitation.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time. All users are encouraged to
+    upgrade to the latest available version of glibc.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All glibc users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge sync
+    
+    # emerge -pv your_version
+    # emerge your_version</code>
