Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2011-08-15 17:12:32 UTC 
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the "sub_read_line_sami()" function in subreader.c and can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted SAMI subtitle file.

And blocking bug 384701 because this version is required also for libpng15 compability.

And removing now, since this is stable everywhere so it doesn't "show up" in the blockers list anymore.    Sort of useless bugspam, sorry about that.
