    <p>
    Stefan Cornelius from Secunia Research reported multiple buffer
    overflows in the http_parse_sc_header(), http_get_pls() and
    http_get_m3u() functions in lib/http.c when parsing overly long HTTP
    headers, or pls and m3u playlists with overly long entries.

  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could entice a user to connect to a malicious server,
    possibly resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary code with the
    privileges of the user running the application.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All Streamripper users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=media-sound/streamripper-1.64.0&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
