+  <affected>
+    <package name="dev-libs/libuv" auto="yes" arch="*">
+      <unaffected range="ge">1.4.2</unaffected>

+  <background>
+    <p>libuv is a multi-platform support library with a focus on asynchronous
+      I/O.
+    </p>
+  </background>
+  <description>
+    <p>It was discovered that libuv does not call setgroups before calling
+      setuid/setgid.  If this is not called, then even though the uid has been
+      dropped, there may still be groups associated that permit superuser
+      privileges.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>Context-dependent attackers could escalate privileges via unspecified
+      vectors.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>All libuv users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
+    
+    <code>
+      # emerge --sync
+      # emerge --ask --verbose --oneshot "&gt;=dev-libs/libuv-1.4.2"
+    </code>
