Synopsis

Will Drewry of the Google Security Team reported several flaws in the way libvorbis processed audio data. An attacker could create a carefully crafted OGG audio file in such a way that it could cause an application linked with libvorbis to crash, or execute arbitrary code when it was opened. (CVE-2008-1419, CVE-2008-1420, CVE-2008-1423)Moreover, additional OGG file sanity-checks have been added to prevent possible exploitation of similar issues in the future.
Solution
Update the affected libvorbis and / or libvorbis-devel packages.See Also
