Package name kaffeine Date April 5th, 2006 Advisory ID MDKSA-2006:065 Affected versions 2006.0

Problem Description

Marcus Meissner discovered Kaffeine contains an unchecked buffer while
creating HTTP request headers for fetching remote RAM playlists, which
allows overflowing a heap allocated buffer. As a result, remotely
supplied RAM playlists can be used to execute arbitrary code on the
client machine.

Updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
