+  <description>
+    <p>
+    Miloslav Trmac from Red Hat discovered a buffer overflow in the
+    "readline()" function of texindex.c. The "readline()" function is
+    called by the texi2dvi and texindex commands.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    By enticing a user to open a specially crafted Texinfo file, an
+    attacker could execute arbitrary code with the rights of the user
+    running Texinfo.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All Texinfo users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=sys-apps/texinfo-4.8-r5&quot;</code>
