+ handles the HTTP connections, the GTK interface, and the CDDB querying
+ mechanism.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ An attacker could exploit the first vulnerability by enticing a user to
+ load a malicious URL resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with
+ the permissions of the user running AlsaPlayer.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ AlsaPlayer has been masked in Portage pending the resolution of these
+ issues. AlsaPlayer users are advised to uninstall the package until
+ further notice:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --ask --unmerge "media-sound/alsaplayer"</code>
