+    <p>
+    Diego E. Petteno` reported multiple integer overflows in glib/gbase64.c
+    when converting a long string from or to a base64 representation.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    A remote attacker could entice a user or automated system to perform a
+    base64 conversion via an application using GLib, possibly resulting in
+    the execution of arbitrary code.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All GLib 2.18 users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=dev-libs/glib-2.18.4-r1&quot;</code>

+    All GLib 2.16 users should upgrade to the latest version:
