SUMMARY : shared memory scoreboard vulnerabilities

Apache HTTP Server contains a vulnerability in its shared memory
scoreboard. Attackers who can execute commands under the Apache
UID can either send a (SIGUSR1) signal to any process as root, in
most cases killing the process, or launch a local denial of service (DoS)
attack.

as follows:
emerge rsync
emerge apache
emerge clean
