+  <title>BitchX: Multiple vulnerabilities</title>
+  <synopsis>
+    Multiple vulnerabilities in BitchX may allow for the remote execution of
+    arbitrary code or symlink attacks.
+  </synopsis>
+  <product type="ebuild">bitchx</product>

+  <affected>
+    <package name="net-irc/bitchx" auto="yes" arch="*">
+      <vulnerable range="le">1.1-r4</vulnerable>
+    </package>
+  </affected>
+  <background>
+    <p>
+    BitchX is an IRC client.

+    bannedit reported a boundary error when handling overly long IRC MODE
+    messages (CVE-2007-4584). Nico Golde reported an insecure creation of a
+    temporary file within the e_hostname() function (CVE-2007-5839).
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    A remote attacker could entice a user to connect to a malicious IRC
+    server, resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary code with the
+    privileges of the user running the application. A local attacker could
+    perform symlink attacks to overwrite arbitrary files on the local
+    machine.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    Since BitchX is no longer maintained, we recommend that users unmerge
+    the vulnerable package and switch to another IRC client:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --unmerge &quot;net-irc/bitchx&quot;</code>
