USN-611-1 fixed a vulnerability in Speex. This update provides the
corresponding update for ogg123, part of vorbis-tools.
Original advisory details:
It was discovered that Speex did not properly validate its input when
processing Speex file headers. If a user or automated system were
tricked into opening a specially crafted Speex file, an attacker could
create a denial of service in applications linked against Speex or
possibly execute arbitrary code as the user invoking the program.

following package versions:
Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
vorbis-tools 1.1.1-3ubuntu0.1
Ubuntu 7.04:

In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the
necessary changes.
