Debian 5.0 Lenny DSA-2071-1 Critical: Libmikmod Buffer Overflow Exploit

Dyon Balding discovered buffer overflows in the MikMod sound library,
which could lead to the execution of arbitrary code if a user is
tricked into opening malformed Impulse Tracker or Ultratracker sound
files.

For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in
version 3.1.11-6+lenny1.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
version 3.1.11-6.2.

We recommend that you upgrade your libmikmod packages.
