+  <synopsis>
+    libpcre is vulnerable to a heap integer overflow, possibly leading to the
+    execution of arbitrary code.

+  <background>
+    <p>
+    libpcre is a library providing functions for Perl-compatible
+    regular expressions.

+  <description>
+    <p>
+    libpcre fails to check certain quantifier values in regular
+    expressions for sane values.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="high">
+    <p>
+    An attacker could possibly exploit this vulnerability to execute
+    arbitrary code by sending specially crafted regular expressions to
+    applications making use of the libpcre library.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All libpcre users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-libs/libpcre-6.3"</code>
