in the OpenSSL package, are both vulnerable to symlink attacks,

rights of the user running the utility.";

    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=sys-apps/groff-1.19.1-r2'

All OpenSSL users should upgrade to the latest version:

    # emerge --sync

Note: /etc/ssl/misc/der_chop is protected by Portage as a configuration
file. Don't forget to use etc-update and overwrite the old version with
the new one.
