    <p>
    James Bercegay of GulfTech Security Research discovered that the
    PEAR XML-RPC and phpxmlrpc libraries fail to sanatize input sent using
    the "POST" method.

  </description>
  <impact type="high">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute
    arbitrary PHP script code by sending a specially crafted XML document
    to web applications making use of these libraries.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There are no known workarounds at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>

    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-php/PEAR-XML_RPC-1.3.1"</code>
