http://secunia.com/advisories/27117/

CRITICAL:
Highly critical

IMPACT:
System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
AlsaPlayer 0.x
http://secunia.com/product/11328/

DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in AlsaPlayer, which
potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a
user's system.

The vulnerabilities are caused due to boundary errors in the vorbis
input plug-in when processing .OGG files. These can be exploited to
cause buffer overflows via a specially crafted .OGG file with overly
long comments.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

SOLUTION:
The vendor has released 0.99.80-rc3, which fixes the vulnerabilities.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
The vendor credits Erik Sjölund.
