+  <background>
+    <p>ktsuss is a simple, graphical version of su written in C and GTK+. </p>

+  <description>
+    <p>Two vulnerabilities have been found in ktuss:</p>
+    
+    <ul>
+      <li>Under specific circumstances, ktsuss skips authentication and fails
+        to change the effective UID back to the real UID (CVE-2011-2921).
+      </li>
+      <li>The GTK interface spawned by the ktsuss binary is run as root
+        (CVE-2011-2922).
+      </li>
+    </ul>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="high">
+    <p>A local attacker could gain escalated privileges and use the
+      "GTK_MODULES" environment variable to possibly execute arbitrary code
+      with root privileges. 
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>Gentoo discontinued support for ktsuss. We recommend that users unmerge
+      ktsuss:
+    </p>
+    
+    <code>
+      # emerge --unmerge "x11-misc/ktsuss"
+    </code>
