Vulnerability Assessment Details

[DSA587] DSA-587-1 freeamp

Vulnerability Assessment Summary
DSA-587-1 freeamp

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

Luigi Auriemma discovered a buffer overflow condition in the playlist
module of freeamp which could lead to arbitrary code execution.
Recent versions of freeamp were renamed into zinf.
For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 2.1.1.0-4woody2.
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem does not exist in the
zinf package as the code in question was rewritten.
We recommend that you upgrade your freeamp packages.
