Vulnerability Assessment Summary

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

Luigi Auriemma discovered several buffer overflows in alsaplayer, a
PCM player designed for ALSA, that can lead to a crash of the
application and maybe worse outcome.

version 0.99.76-0.3sarge1.
For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems will be fixed soon.
We recommend that you upgrade your alsaplayer package.
