Detail

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 14.10 - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS - Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Summary:

FLAC could be made to crash or run programs as your login if it opened a specially crafted file.

Software Description: - flac: Free Lossless Audio Codec

Details:

Michele Spagnuolo discovered that FLAC incorrectly handled certain malformed audio files. An attacker could use this issue to cause FLAC to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 14.10:
libflac++6 1.3.0-2ubuntu0.14.10.1
libflac8 1.3.0-2ubuntu0.14.10.1

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
libflac++6 1.3.0-2ubuntu0.14.04.1
libflac8 1.3.0-2ubuntu0.14.04.1

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
libflac++6 1.2.1-6ubuntu0.1

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
libflac++6 1.2.1-2ubuntu0.1
libflac8 1.2.1-2ubuntu0.1
