+  <background>
+    <p>CVS (Concurrent Versions System) is an open-source network-transparent
+      version control system. It contains both a client utility and a server.
+    </p>
+  </background>
+  <description>
+    <p>It was discovered that when CVS is configured to use SSH for remote
+      repositories it allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code through
+      a repository URL with a specially crafted hostname.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>A remote attacker, by enticing a user to clone a specially crafted
+      repository, 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 CVS users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
+    
+    <code>
+      # emerge --sync
+      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-vcs/cvs-1.12.12-r12"
