+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    A remote attacker could entice a user to display a file containing
+    specially crafted DECRQSS sequences, possibly resulting in the remote
+    execution of arbitrary commands with the privileges of the user viewing
+    the file.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All xterm users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=x11-terms/xterm-239&quot;</code>
