Package: mozilla-plugin-vlc
Version: 0.8.6.e-2.1
Severity: grave
Tags: security patch
Justification: user security hole


The "vlc" binary package part of CVE-2007-6683 has been fixed as per
#458318. However, the issue affecting the mozilla plugin as noted here:
http://mailman.videolan.org/pipermail/vlc-devel/2007-December/037726.html
seems to still be wide open.

Upstream patch is here, but note that this will partially disable existing
functionality:

As far as I know affects both Etch and Lenny.
