net-misc/icecast*< 2.4.2>= 2.4.2

Background

Icecast is an open source alternative to shoutcast that supports mp3, ogg (vorbis/theora) and aac streaming.

Description

Workaround

Users of affected versions can change stream_auth mountpoints to use password authentication instead.

Resolution

All icecast users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-misc/icecast-2.4.2"
