+    <p>
+    Alin Rad Pop from Secunia Research discovered a boundary error in the
+    function separate_sentence() in file tokenize.c when processing an
+    overly long word which might lead to a stack-based buffer overflow.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    A remote attacker could entice a user to parse a specially crafted
+    sentence, resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary code with the
+    privileges of the user running the application. Note that this
+    vulnerability may be triggered by an application using Link Grammar to
+    parse sentences (e.g. AbiWord).
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All Link Grammar users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=dev-libs/link-grammar-4.2.4-r1&quot;</code>
