+  <background>
+    <p>GNU Tar is a utility to create archives as well as add and extract files
+      from archives.
+    </p>
+  </background>
+  <description>
+    <p>GNU Tar is vulnerable to a boundary error in the rmt_read__ function in
+      lib/rtapelib.c, which could cause a heap-based buffer overflow. 
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>A remote attacker could entice the user to load a specially crafted
+      archive, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code or a
+      Denial of Service.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>All GNU Tar users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
+    
+    <code>
+      # emerge --sync
+      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-arch/tar-1.23"
+    </code>
+    
+    <p>NOTE: This is a legacy GLSA. Updates for all affected architectures are
+      available since July 18, 2010. It is likely that your system is already
+      no longer affected by this issue.
