Package: limewire
Version: 3.4.5-2
Severity: grave
Tags: security
Justification: user security hole

Secunia reports two vulnerabilities in Limewire that allow attackers remote
access to arbitrary files. For full details see
http://secunia.com/advisories/14555

Note: Limewire has been orphaned for a long time now (it's latest upload
nearly 1.5 years ago) and it therefore badly out-of-sync with upstream.
Secunia claims Limewire versions from 3.9.6 to 4.6.0 vulnerable, but it
should be double-checked, whether Sarge's out-dated version is affected
as well. 

I guess the correct fix is a removal of Limewire; a moving target like
filesharing will hardly be useful after 1.5 years and will definitely
become fully unusable during Sarge's stable lifecycle.

There are not CAN IDs yet.
