For anyone not on the Debian mailing list, the distribution has patched FLAC against the vulnerability, with older versions. The Ubuntu distribution has done something similar.

For the stable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in version 1.2.1-6+deb7u1. For the testing distribution (jessie) and unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 1.3.0-3. We recommend that you upgrade your flac packages.
