CVE-2012-5003 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2012-5003):
  nxapplet.jar in No Machine NX Web Companion 3.x and earlier does not
  properly verify the authenticity of updates, which allows user-assisted
  remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted (1) SiteUrl or (2)
  RedirectUrl parameter that points to a Trojan Horse client.zip update file.

We do not ship the web companion, so Gentoo is not affected by this CVE :)
