Quoting MDVSA-2008:046:
"An array index vulnerability found in the FLAC audio demuxer might
allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted FLAC
tag, which triggers a buffer overflow. Although originally an MPlayer
issue, it also affects xine-lib due to code similarity."

Quoting MDVSA-2008:046-1:
"[...] The previous update used a bad patch which made Amarok interface
very unresponsive while playing FLAC files. This new update fixes
the security issue with a better patch."

** Affects: xine-lib (Ubuntu)

         Status: New

** Visibility changed to: Public
