+  <description>
+    <p>
+    w3m in -dump or -backend mode does not correctly handle printf() format
+    string specifiers in the Common Name (CN) field of an X.509 SSL
+    certificate.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    An attacker could entice a user to visit a malicious website that would
+    load a specially crafted X.509 SSL certificate containing "%n" or other
+    format string specifiers, possibly resulting in the execution of
+    arbitrary code with the rights of the user running w3m.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All w3m users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=www-client/w3m-0.5.1-r4"</code>
