+    Alfredo Ortega from Core Security Technologies reported a heap-based
+    buffer overflow in the strip_escapes() function when processing overly
+    long filenames.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    A remote attacker could entice a user to process specially crafted
+    commands with ed or red, possibly resulting in the execution of
+    arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All GNU ed users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=sys-apps/ed-1.0"</code>
