Synopsis:	Important: flac security update
Issue date:	2007-10-22
CVE Names:	CVE-2007-4619

A security flaw was found in the way flac processed audio data. An
attacker could create a carefully crafted FLAC audio file in such a way that
it could cause an application linked with flac libraries to crash or execute
arbitrary code when it was opened. (CVE-2007-4619)

This update actually went out yesterday. We apologize for getting this e-mail
out late.
