Detail
| An array index vulnerability found in the FLAC audio demuxer might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted FLAC tag, which triggers a buffer overflow. Although originally an MPlayer issue, it also affects xine-lib due to code similarity. The updated packages have been patched to prevent this issue. Update: The previous update used a bad patch which made Amarok interface very unresponsive while playing FLAC files. This new update fixes the security issue with a better patch. |
