  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could possibly exploit this vulnerability to
    bypass the authentication mechanism by injecting specially crafted
    input to the underlying storage containers.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All PEAR-Auth users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-php/PEAR-Auth-1.2.4"</code>
