+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to launch a Denial of
+    Service attack on any application using the zlib library.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time. All users are encouraged to
+    upgrade to the latest available version of zlib.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All zlib users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge sync
+    
+    # emerge -pv &quot;&gt;=sys-libs/zlib-1.2.1-r3&quot;
+    # emerge &quot;&gt;=sys-libs/zlib-1.2.1-r3&quot;</code>
+    <p>
+    You should also run revdep-rebuild to rebuild any packages that depend
+    on older versions of zlib :
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # revdep-rebuild</code>
