  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>A remote attacker able to control the value passed to Rust’s
      str::repeat function could possibly cause a Denial of Service condition.
    </p>
    
    <p>In addition, a local attacker could trick another user into executing
      arbitrary code when using rustdoc.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>All Rust users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>

      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-lang/rust-1.29.1"
    </code>
    
    <p>All Rust binary users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-lang/rust-bin-1.29.1"
