| </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 ">=media-sound/peercast-0.1218"</code> |
