+  <background>
+    <p>
+    fvwm is a highly configurable virtual window manager for X11 desktops.
+    fvwm-menu-directory allows fvwm users to browse directories from within
+    fvwm.

+  <description>
+    <p>
+    Tavis Ormandy of the Gentoo Linux Security Audit Team discovered that
+    fvwm-menu-directory does not sufficiently sanitise directory names
+    prior to generating menus.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    A local attacker who can convince an fvwm-menu-directory user to browse
+    a directory they control could cause fvwm commands to be executed with
+    the privileges of the fvwm user. Fvwm commands can be used to execute
+    arbitrary shell commands.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All fvwm users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=x11-wm/fvwm-2.5.18-r1&quot;</code>
