+ NX uses code from the X.org X11 server which is prone to multiple

+ <p>
+ NoMachine's NX establishes remote connections to X11 desktops over
+ small bandwidth links. NX and NX Node are the compression core
+ libraries, whereas NX is used by FreeNX and NX Node by the binary-only
+ NX servers.
+ </p>

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Multiple integer overflow and buffer overflow vulnerabilities have been
+ discovered in the X.Org X server as shipped by NX and NX Node
+ (vulnerabilities 1-4 in GLSA 200801-09).
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities via unspecified
+ vectors, leading to the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges
+ of the user on the machine running the NX server.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All NX Node users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-misc/nxnode-3.1.0-r2"</code>
