+    <p>
+    R is a GPL licensed implementation of S, a language and environment for
+    statistical computing and graphics. PCRE is a library providing
+    functions for Perl-compatible regular expressions.
+    </p>
+  </background>
+  <description>
+    <p>
+    R includes a copy of PCRE which is vulnerable to multiple buffer
+    overflows and memory corruptions vulnerabilities (GLSA 200711-30).
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    An attacker could entice a user to process specially crafted regular
+    expressions with R, which could possibly lead to the execution of
+    arbitrary code, a Denial of Service or the disclosure of sensitive
+    information.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All R users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-lang/R-2.2.1-r1"</code>
