    An attacker could set up a malicious game server and entice users
    to connect to it, potentially resulting in the execution of arbitrary
    code with the rights of the game user.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    Do not connect to untrusted game servers.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>

    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=games-fps/quake3-bin-1.32c&quot;</code>
    <p>
    All RTCW users should upgrade to the latest version:
