Hi all,

Google Security Team member, Michele Spagnuolo, recently found two potential
problems in the FLAC code base. They are :


    CVE-2014-9028 : Heap buffer write overflow
    CVE-2014-8962 : Heap buffer read overflow

For Linux distributions, the specific fixes for these two CVEs are available
from Git here:


https://git.xiph.org/?p=flac.git;a=commit;h=fcf0ba06ae12ccd7c67cee3c8d948df15f946b85

https://git.xiph.org/?p=flac.git;a=commit;h=5b3033a2b355068c11fe637e14ac742d273f076e

and are simple enough that they should apply cleanly to the last official
release 1.3.0 and possibly even the previous one, 1.2.1.

A pre-release (version 1.3.1pre1) for the next version which includes these
fixes and more is available here:

    http://downloads.xiph.org/releases/flac/beta/

A full release (version 1.3.1) will be available in the next couple of days.

Cheers,
Erik
