ChromeOS is based on Gentoo, so if CoreOS is based no ChromeOS it is a |
| 12 |
second generation Gentoo derivative. |

The report seems to be saying that the problem is caused by using the |
| 18 |
Gentoo default config, which assumes a Gentoo environment. So it's fine |
| 19 |
on Gentoo. But it won't hurt to run glsa-check from time to time (my sync |
| 20 |
script does it every time and mails me if there's a problem). |
