    - -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Package : vlc
    Vulnerability : missing input sanitising
    Problem type : (local)remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE ID : CVE-2011-0531

    Dan Rosenberg discovered that insufficient input validation in VLC's
    processing of Matroska/WebM containers could lead to the execution of
    arbitrary code.

    For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1.1.3-1squeeze3.

    The version of vlc in the oldstable distribution (lenny) is affected
    by further issues and will be addressed in a followup DSA.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1.1.7-1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your vlc packages.
