+  <background>
+    <p>
+    udev is the device manager used in the Linux 2.6 kernel series.

+  <description>
+    <p>
+    Sebastian Krahmer of SUSE discovered the following two vulnerabilities:
+    </p>
+    <ul>
+    <li>udev does not verify the origin of NETLINK messages
+    properly (CVE-2009-1185).</li>
+    <li>A buffer overflow exists in the
+    util_path_encode() function in lib/libudev-util.c (CVE-2009-1186).</li>
+    </ul>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="high">
+    <p>
+    A local attacker could gain root privileges by sending specially
+    crafted NETLINK messages to udev or cause a Denial of Service.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All udev users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=sys-fs/udev-124-r2"</code>
