Insight
Lucas Adamski, Matthew Gregan, David Keeler, and Dan Kaminsky discovered that libvorbis, a library for the Vorbis general-purpose compressed audio codec, did not correctly handle certain malformed ogg files. An attacher could cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted .ogg file.
For the oldstable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in version 1.1.2.dfsg-1.4+etch1.
For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in version 1.2.0.dfsg-3.1+lenny1.
For the testing distribution (squeeze) and the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 1.2.3-1
We recommend that you upgrade your libvorbis packages.
