+  <title>BEAST: Denial of Service</title>
+  <synopsis>
+    A vulnerability has been discovered in BEAST allowing for a Denial of
+    Service.

+  <description>
+    <p>
+    BEAST, which is installed as setuid root, fails to properly check
+    whether it can drop privileges accordingly if seteuid() fails due to a
+    user exceeding assigned resource limits.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="low">
+    <p>
+    A local user could exceed his resource limit in order to prevent the
+    seteuid() call from succeeding. This may lead BEAST to keep running
+    with root privileges. Then, the local user could use the "save as"
+    dialog box to overwrite any file on the vulnerable system, potentially
+    leading to a Denial of Service.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All BEAST users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-sound/beast-0.7.1"</code>
