    Lucas Adamski reported that libvorbis does not correctly process file
    headers, related to static mode headers and encoding books.
  
Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to play a specially crafted OGG
    Vorbis file using an application that uses libvorbis, possibly
    resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the
    user running the application, or a Denial of Service.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time."
