+  <background>
+    <p>
+    Xerces-C++ is a validating XML parser written in a portable subset of
+    C++.
+    </p>

+  <description>
+    <p>
+    Frank Rast reported that the XML parser in Xerces-C++ does not
+    correctly handle an XML schema definition with a large maxOccurs value,
+    which triggers excessive memory consumption during the validation of an
+    XML file.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    A remote attacker could entice a user or automated system to validate
+    an XML file using a specially crafted XML schema file, leading to a
+    Denial of Service (stack consumption and crash).
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All Xerces-C++ users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-libs/xerces-c-3.0.0-r1"</code>
