+ OpenSSL is an Open Source toolkit implementing the Secure Sockets Layer
+ (SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) as well as a general
+ purpose cryptography library.

+ The ASN1_STRING_print_ex() function does not properly check the
+ provided length of a BMPString or UniversalString, leading to an

+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could entice a user or automated system to print a
+ specially crafted certificate, possibly leading to a Denial of Service.

+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>

+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-libs/openssl-0.9.8k"</code>
