+ gmime/gmime-encodings.h.

+ <p>A context-dependent attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code or

+ <workaround>
+ <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>GMime 2.4.x users on the PPC64 architecture should upgrade to the latest
+ version:
+ </p>
+
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-libs/gmime-2.4.17"
+ </code>
+
+ <p>GMime 2.4.x users on other architectures should upgrade to the latest
+ version:
+ </p>
+
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-libs/gmime-2.4.15"
+ </code>
+
+ <p>GMime 2.2.x users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
+
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-libs/gmime-2.2.26"
+ </code>
+
+ <p>Packages which depend on this library may need to be recompiled. Tools
+ such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying some of these packages.
