Package: flac
Version: 1.3.0-2+b1
Severity: serious
Tags: security

From: http://lists.xiph.org/pipermail/flac-dev/2014-November/005226.html

> Google Security Team member, Michele Spagnuolo, recently found two potential
> problems in the FLAC code base. They are :
> 
> 
>     CVE-2014-9028 : Heap buffer write overflow
>     CVE-2014-8962 : Heap buffer read overflow
> 
> For Linux distributions, the specific fixes for these two CVEs are available
> from Git here:
> 
>     https://git.xiph.org/?p=flac.git;a=commit;h=fcf0ba06ae12ccd7c67cee3c8d948df15f946b85

> 
> and are simple enough that they should apply cleanly to the last official
> release 1.3.0 and possibly even the previous one, 1.2.1.
> 
> A pre-release (version 1.3.1pre1) for the next version which includes these
> fixes and more is available here:
> 
>     http://downloads.xiph.org/releases/flac/beta/
> 
> A full release (version 1.3.1) will be available in the next couple of days.
