Update
======

For a short time version 4.0.27 was incorrectly listed as vulnerable
and the resolution incorrectly forced an upgrade to 4.1.x for 4.0.x users.

The updated sections appear below.

Affected packages
=================

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package       /  Vulnerable  /                         Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  dev-db/mysql      < 4.1.19                              >= 4.1.19
                                                            *>= 4.0.27

Resolution
==========

All MySQL users should upgrade to the latest version.

    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-db/mysql-4.0.27"
