+    <p>Elfutils provides a library and utilities to access, modify and analyse
+      ELF objects.
+    </p>
+  </background>
+  <description>
+    <p>An integer overflow, in the check_section function of dwarf_begin_elf.c,
+      in the libdw library can lead to a heap-based buffer overflow.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted file,
+      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 elfutils users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
+    
+    <code>
+      # emerge --sync
+      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-libs/elfutils-0.159"
