MagpieRSS Remote Command Execution
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY

attackers to cause the program to execute arbitrary code.

A vulnerability has been identified in MagpieRSS that could be exploited
by remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands. This flaw is due to an
