+  <background>
+    <p>Squashfs is a compressed read-only filesystem for Linux. Squashfs is
+      intended for general read-only filesystem use, for archival use (i.e. in
+      cases where a .tar.gz file may be used), and in constrained block
+      device/memory systems (e.g. embedded systems) where low overhead is
+      needed.
+    </p>
+  </background>
+  <description>
+    <p>Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in SQUASHFS. Please review
+      the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted .sqsh
+      file using unsquashfs; possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary
+      code with the privileges of the process, or a Denial of Service
+      condition.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>All squashfs-tools users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
+    
+    <code>
+      # emerge --sync
+      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=squashfs-tools-4.3"
+    </code>
