We haven't released any new Gentoo Linux Security AdvisorĂ­es (GLSA) since 
January, with information about security updates being available only directly 
through our Bugzilla [1]. Tomorrow, that changes.

We're glad to announce that starting tomorrow, we will resume publishing 
advisories again directly via gentoo-announce, full-disclosure, bugtraq and 
our website.

To round up the security issues that have been fixed in our distribution since 
January, we will be releasing a few grouped advisories containing these "old" 
issues. It is very likely that you have already fixed these issues with your 
regular system updates; if not, glsa-check(1) will point out the missing 
updates.

We apologize for any incovenience this might have caused. We'd also like to 
use this occasion to invite members of the Gentoo community interested in 
helping with providing advisories to contact us.

Feel free to contact security@gentoo.org with any questions.
Thanks!
