+  <title>libgda: Format string vulnerabilities</title>
+  <synopsis>
+    Two format string vulnerabilities in libgda may lead to the execution of
+    arbitrary code.

+    <package name="gnome-extra/libgda" auto="yes" arch="*">

+    <p>
+    libgda is the library handling the data abstraction layer in the
+    Gnome data access architecture (GNOME-DB). It can also be used by
+    non-GNOME applications to manage data stored in databases or XML files.

+  <description>
+    <p>
+    Steve Kemp discovered two format string vulnerabilities in the
+    gda_log_error and gda_log_message functions. Some applications may pass
+    untrusted input to those functions and be vulnerable.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    An attacker could pass malicious input to an application making
+    use of the vulnerable libgda functions, potentially resulting in the
+    execution of arbitrary code with the rights of that application.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All libgda users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=gnome-extra/libgda-1.2.2-r1&quot;</code>
