    process to crash, or the execution of arbitrary code.

    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All Shoutcast Server users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=media-sound/shoutcast-server-bin-1.9.5&quot;</code>
