Amarok is an advanced music player.
Tobias Klein has discovered multiple vulnerabilities in Amarok:
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted Audible Audio (.aa) file with a large "nlen" or "vlen" tag value to execute arbitrary code or cause a Denial of Service.
There is no known workaround at this time.
All Amarok users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-sound/amarok-1.4.10-r2"
