+ impossible to log into a machine.

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ PAM-MySQL is a PAM module used to authenticate users against a MySQL
+ backend.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ A flaw in handling the result of pam_get_item() as well as further
+ unspecified flaws were discovered in PAM-MySQL.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ By exploiting the mentioned flaws an attacker can cause a Denial of
+ Service and thus prevent users that authenticate against PAM-MySQL from
+ logging into a machine. There is also a possible additional attack
+ vector with more malicious impact that has not been confirmed yet.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All PAM-MySQL users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=sys-auth/pam_mysql-0.7_rc1"</code>
