Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory RHSA-2009:1219.

The libvorbis packages contain runtime libraries for use in programs that
support Ogg Vorbis. Ogg Vorbis is a fully open, non-proprietary, patent-and
royalty-free, general-purpose compressed audio format.

An insufficient input validation flaw was found in the way libvorbis
processes the codec file headers (static mode headers and encoding books)
of the Ogg Vorbis audio file format (Ogg). A remote attacker could provide
a specially-crafted Ogg file that would cause a denial of service (memory
corruption and application crash) or, potentially, execute arbitrary code
with the privileges of an application using the libvorbis library when
opened by a victim. (CVE-2009-2663)

Users of libvorbis should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
a backported patch to correct this issue. The desktop must be restarted
(log out, then log back in) for this update to take effect.

Solution:
Please note that this update is available via
Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red
Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date
