    arbitrary shell code with the rights of the user running Amarok on a
    client that have previously registered for buying music.

    <p>
    Do not use the Magnatune component of Amarok.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All Amarok users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=media-sound/amarok-1.4.5-r1&quot;</code>
