+  <title>GNU C Library: Integer overflow</title>
+  <synopsis>
+    An integer overflow in the dynamic loader, ld.so, could result in the
+    execution of arbitrary code with escalated privileges.

+    <p>
+    The GNU C library is the standard C library used by Gentoo Linux
+    systems. It provides programs with basic facilities and interfaces to
+    system calls. ld.so is the dynamic linker which prepares dynamically
+    linked programs for execution by resolving runtime dependencies and
+    related functions.

+  <description>
+    <p>
+    Tavis Ormandy of the Gentoo Linux Security Team discovered a flaw in
+    the handling of the hardware capabilities mask by the dynamic loader.
+    If a mask is specified with a high population count, an integer
+    overflow could occur when allocating memory.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    As the hardware capabilities mask is honored by the dynamic loader
+    during the execution of suid and sgid programs, in theory this
+    vulnerability could result in the execution of arbitrary code with root
+    privileges. This update is provided as a precaution against currently
+    unknown attack vectors.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=sys-libs/glibc-2.5-r4"</code>
