+  <background>
+    <p>Icinga is an open source computer system and network monitoring
+      application. It was originally created as a fork of the Nagios system
+      monitoring application in 2009.
+    </p>
+  </background>
+  <description>
+    <p>It was discovered that Icinga’s installed files have insecure
+      permissions, possibly allowing root privilege escalation.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="high">
+    <p>A local attacker could escalate privileges to root.</p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>Gentoo has discontinued support for Icinga. We recommend that users
+      unmerge Icinga:
+    </p>
+    
+    <code>
+      # emerge --unmerge "net-analyzer/icinga"
+    </code>
+    
+    <p>NOTE: The Gentoo developer(s) maintaining Icinga have discontinued
+      support at this time. It may be possible that a new Gentoo developer will
+      update Icinga at a later date. The natural replacement is Icinga 2
+      (net-analyzer/icinga2).
