    The Magnatune downloader doesn't quote the 'm_currentAlbumFileName'
    parameter while calling the 'unzip' shell command.
  
Impact :

    A compromised or malicious Magnatune server can remotely execute
    arbitrary shell code with the rights of the user running Amarok on a
    client that have previously registered for buying music.
  
Workaround :

    Do not use the Magnatune component of Amarok."
