Debian Bug : 416423
Multiple errors have been found in the skin handling routines in xmms,
the X Multimedia System. These vulnerabilities could allow an
attacker to run arbitrary code as the user running xmms by inducing
the victim to load specially crafted interface skin files.
For the stable distribution (sarge), these problems have been fixed in
version 1.2.10+cvs20050209-2sarge1
For the upcoming stable distrubution (etch) and the unstable
