From ${URL} : I have found a security issue in vlc 2.0.8 which was reported to VLC team and fixed in both 2.0.9 and 2.1.0 (as "Fix buffer overflow in the mp4a packetizer"). Here are the commit log and changelog: * http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc.git;a=commitdiff;h=9794ec1cd268c04c8bca13a5fae15df6594dff3e * http://www.videolan.org/developers/vlc-branch/NEWS @maintainer(s): after the bump, in case we need to stabilize the package, please say explicitly if it is ready for the stabilization or not.
*** Bug 488086 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
@maintainers, ping! Is 2.0.9 ready for stabilization?
Added to an existing GLSA request.
