引述 :『Security services provider eEye has released an overview of all 14 known vulnerabilities in libFLAC parsers in a new security advisory. Almost all of these are due to buffer overflows. Many can be exploited to inject and execute code using crafted meta data in FLAC files. [Update] As well as the products named, players based upon the open source libavcodec audio codec library also can be affected by the vulnerability. They can be linked against libFLAC for FLAC support. [/Update] These include MPlayer, VLC Media Player, GStreamer, ffdshow, xmms and xine. Until updates are made available, users should only play FLAC files from trusted sources. To date, however, FLAC files are rarely seen in the wild. US rapper Saul Williams is one of the few artists who does offer a losslessly compressed version of his latest album "The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of NiggyTardust!" in FLAC format as a download.』

引述 :『libFLAC version 1.2.1 was released in September, 2007, fixing these vulnerabilities for most vulnerable applications. Unfortunately, many vendors that were using libFLAC within their media applications or using their own homegrown FLAC file parsers had not been informed that their FLAC file parser was vulnerable. Because of that, the release of this advisory was postponed until all vulnerable vendors were contacted in coordination with US-CERT.』
