    <p>
    Tobias Klein has discovered multiple vulnerabilities in Amarok:
    </p>
    <ul>
    <li>Multiple integer overflows in the Audible::Tag::readTag()
    function in metadata/audible/audibletag.cpp trigger heap-based buffer
    overflows (CVE-2009-0135).</li>
    <li>Multiple array index errors in the
    Audible::Tag::readTag() function in metadata/audible/audibletag.cpp can
    lead to invalid pointer dereferences, or the writing of a 0x00 byte to
    an arbitrary memory location after an allocation failure
    (CVE-2009-0136).</li>
    </ul>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    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.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All Amarok users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-sound/amarok-1.4.10-r2"</code>
  </resolution>
