Package : alsaplayer
Vulnerability : buffer overrun
Problem type : local (remote)
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s) : CVE-2007-5301
Debian Bug : 446034

Erik Sjölund discovered a buffer overflow vulnerability in the Ogg
Vorbis input plugin of the alsaplayer audio playback application.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability through the opening of a
maliciously-crafted Vorbis file could lead to the execution of
arbitrary code.

For the stable distribution (etch), the problem has been fixed in
version 0.99.76-9+etch1.

For the unstable distribution (sid), the problem was fixed in version
0.99.80~rc4-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your alsaplayer packages.
