  <description>
    <p>
    James Bercegay of the GulfTech Security Research Team discovered that
    PeerCast insecurely implements formatted printing when receiving a
    request with a malformed URL.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="high">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a request
    with a specially crafted URL to a PeerCast server to execute arbitrary
    code.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All PeerCast users should upgrade to the latest available version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=media-sound/peercast-0.1212&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
