Debian 4.0: DSA-1706-1 Critical: Amarok Arbitrary Code Execution

Tobias Klein discovered that integer overflows in the code the Amarok
media player uses to parse Audible files may lead to the execution of
arbitrary code.

For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.4.4-4etch1. Updated packages for sparc and arm will be
provided later.

For the upcoming stable distribution (lenny) and the unstable
distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1.4.10-2.

We recommend that you upgrade your amarok packages.
