Detail

The previous update for libvdpau, DSA-3355-1, introduced a regression in the stable distribution (jessie) causing a segmentation fault when the DRI_PRIME environment variable is set. For reference, the original advisory text follows.

Florian Weimer of Red Hat Product Security discovered that libvdpau, the VDPAU wrapper library, did not properly validate environment variables, allowing local attackers to gain additional privileges.

For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in version 0.8-3+deb8u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your libvdpau packages.
