Fedora 9: 2009-0715 Critical Advisory for Amarok Buffer Overflow

Amarok is a multimedia player with:

- fresh playlist concept, very fast to use, with drag and drop

- plays all formats supported by the various engines

- audio effects, like reverb and compressor

- compatible with the .m3u and .pls formats for playlists

- nice GUI, integrates into the KDE look, but with a unique touch

Amarok can use various engines to decode sound : helix and xine.

To use the helix engine, you need to install either HelixPlayer

or RealPlayer

This build includes a security fix concerning the parsing of malformed Audible

digital audio files.
