Package        : helix-player
Vulnerability  : buffer overflow
Problem type   : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID         : CVE-2005-2629
BugTraq ID     : 15381

An integer overflow has been discovered in helix-player, the helix
audio and video player.  This flaw could allow a remote attacker to
run arbitrary code on a victims computer by supplying a specially
crafted network resource.

This vulnerability is fixed by version 1.0.6-1 in unstable.
Helix-player is not currently in the testing distribution.

The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain a helix-player
package.

For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in
version 1.0.4-1sarge2.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
version 1.0.6-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your helix-player package.
