Debian Security Advisory DSA 1179-1 (alsaplayer)

Summary
The remote host is missing an update to alsaplayer announced via advisory DSA 1179-1. Luigi Auriemma discovered several buffer overflows in alsaplayer, a PCM player designed for ALSA, that can lead to a crash of the application and maybe worse outcome.
Solution
For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in version 0.99.76-0.3sarge1. For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems will be fixed soon. We recommend that you upgrade your alsaplayer package. https://secure1.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=DSA%201179-1
