+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ Under specific circumstances an attacker could execute arbitary
+ code with the permissions of the user running mit-krb5, which could be
+ the root user.

+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All mit-krb5 users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-crypt/mit-krb5-1.3.6"</code>
