crash the application by passing a specially crafted, overly long string (about
3000 bytes) in a "Authorization:" header.

The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 2.0.0 for Windows. Other
versions may also be affected.

Like the Xiph guys say, "this release contains ONLY the fix for this issue" so
it shouldn't be a painful upgrade.

Sound guys, could you bump the ebuild to 2.0.1 ?
