+ Nico Golde reported a stack-based buffer overflow when processing a MSN
+ packet with a UBX command containing a large UBX payload length field.

+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could send a specially crafted message, possibly
+ resulting in the execution of arbitrary code.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ Since TMSNC is no longer maintained, we recommend that users unmerge
+ the vulnerable package and switch to another console-based MSN client
+ such as CenterIM or Pebrot:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --unmerge "net-im/tmsnc"</code>
