  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could entice a user or automated system to process a
    specially crafted audio file possibly leading to the execution of
    arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All libsamplerate users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-libs/libsamplerate-0.1.4"</code>
