+  <affected>
+    <package name="app-admin/monit" auto="yes" arch="*">

+  <background>
+    <p>
+    Monit is a system administration utility that allows management and
+    monitoring of processes, files, directories and devices on a Unix system.
+    </p>
+  </background>
+  <description>
+    <p>
+    Monit has several vulnerabilities in its HTTP interface : a buffer overflow
+    vulnerability in the authentication handling code and a off-by-one error in
+    the POST method handling code.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="high">
+    <p>
+    An attacker may exploit the off-by-one error to crash the Monit daemon and
+    create a denial of service condition, or cause a buffer overflow that would
+    allow arbitrary code to be executed with root privileges.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    A workaround is not currently known for this issue. All users are advised
+    to upgrade to the latest version of the affected package.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    Monit users should upgrade to version 4.2.1 or later:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge sync
+
+    # emerge -pv ">=app-admin/monit-4.2.1"
+    # emerge ">=app-admin/monit-4.2.1"</code>
+  </resolution>
