+    KDE is a feature-rich graphical desktop environment for Linux and
+    Unix-like Operating Systems. kfax (part of kdegraphics) is the KDE fax
+    file viewer.

+    Than Ngo discovered that kfax contains a private copy of the TIFF
+    library and is therefore subject to several known vulnerabilities (see
+    References).
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    A remote attacker could entice a user to view a carefully-crafted TIFF
+    image file with kfax, which would potentially lead to execution of
+    arbitrary code with the rights of the user running kfax.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    The KDE Team recommends to remove the kfax binary as well as the
+    kfaxpart.la KPart:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    rm /usr/kde/3.*/lib/kde3/kfaxpart.la
+    rm /usr/kde/3.*/bin/kfax</code>
+    <p>
+    Note: This will render the kfax functionality useless, if kfax
+    functionality is needed you should upgrade to the KDE 3.3.2 which is
+    not stable at the time of this writing.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All kfax users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=kde-base/kdegraphics-3.3.2&quot;</code>
+  </resolution>
