  <impact type="normal">
    <p>A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted using
      BladeEnc, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the

  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>Gentoo has discontinued support for BladeEnc. We recommend that users
      unmerge it:
    </p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --ask --depclean "media-sound/bladeenc"
    </code>
    
    <p>NOTE: The Gentoo developer(s) maintaining BladeEnc have discontinued
      support at this time. It may be possible that a new Gentoo developer will
      update BladeEnc at a later date. We do not have a suggestion for a
      replacement at this time.
    </p>
