+    arbitrary commands by manipulating the -tex option from mpost program.

+  <background>
+    <p>Kpathsea is a library to do path searching. It is used by TeX Live and
+      others TeX related software.
+    </p>
+  </background>
+  <description>
+    <p>It was discovered that the mpost program from the shell_escape_commands
+      list is capable of executing arbitrary external programs during the
+      conversion of .tex files. The responsible function is runpopen()
+      (texmfmp.c).
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>A remote attacker, by enticing a user to open a specially crafted .tex
+      file, could possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the
+      process.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>All Kpathsea users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
+    
+    <code>
+      # emerge --sync
+      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose
+      "&gt;=dev-libs/kpathsea-6.2.2_p20160523"
+    </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.
