processing of Matroska/WebM containers could lead to the execution of

For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in

The version of vlc in the oldstable distribution (lenny) is affected
by further issues and will be addressed in a followup DSA.
For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.1.7-1.
