+  <description>
+    <p>
+    Niels Heinen has discovered a buffer overflow in the socket_getline()
+    function of Newspost, which can be triggered by providing long strings
+    that do not end with a newline character.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    A remote attacker could setup a malicious NNTP server and entice a
+    Newspost user to post to it, leading to the crash of the Newspost
+    process and potentially the execution of arbitrary code with the rights
+    of the Newspost user.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All Newspost users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-nntp/newspost-2.0-r1"</code>
