  <impact type="low">
    <p>A local attacker could put specially crafted library into working
      directory of Banshee, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code
      with the privileges of the process, or a Denial of Service condition.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>All Banshee users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-sound/banshee-1.8.0-r1"
    </code>
