Ricardo Narvaja discovered that missing input sanitising in VLC, a multimedia player and streamer, could lead to the execution of arbitrary code if a user is tricked into opening a malformed media file.
This update also provides updated packages for oldstable (lenny) for vulnerabilities, which have already been addressed in Debian stable (squeeze), either during the freeze or in DSA-2159(CVE-2010-0522, CVE-2010-1441, CVE-2010-1442 and CVE-2011-0531 ).
