    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Debian Security Advisory DSA-1706-1 [email protected] http://www.debian.org/security/ Moritz Muehlenhoff January 15, 2009 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Package : amarok
    Vulnerability : integer overflows
    Problem type : local(remote)
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE Id(s) : not assigned yet

    Tobias Klein discovered that integer overflows in the code the Amarok
    media player uses to parse Audible files may lead to the execution of
    arbitrary code.

    For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1.4.4-4etch1. Updated packages for sparc and arm will be
    provided later.

    For the upcoming stable distribution (lenny) and the unstable
    distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1.4.10-2.

    We recommend that you upgrade your amarok packages.

    Upgrade instructions
