+    <p>
+    gnome-screensaver is a screensaver, designed to integrate with the
+    Gnome desktop, that can replace xscreensaver.

+  <description>
+    <p>
+    gnome-screensaver incorrectly handles the results of the getpwuid()
+    function in the file src/setuid.c when using directory servers (like
+    NIS) during a network outage, a similar issue to GLSA 200705-14.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    A local user can crash gnome-xscreensaver by preventing network
+    connectivity if the system uses a remote directory service for
+    credentials such as NIS or LDAP, which will unlock the screen.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All gnome-screensaver users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=gnome-extra/gnome-screensaver-2.20.0-r3"</code>
