Logwatch, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with root
privileges or a Denial of Service condition.

<p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>All Logwatch users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-apps/logwatch-7.4.0"
</code>
</resolution>
