  </description>
  <impact type="high">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could send a specially crafted request to the
    vulnerable server, possibly resulting in the remote execution of
    arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the PeerCast
    server, usually "nobody".
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All PeerCast users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=media-sound/peercast-0.1218&quot;</code>
