=========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 11.10
- Ubuntu 11.04
- Ubuntu 10.10
- Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Summary:

libvorbis could be made to crash or run programs as your login if it
opened a specially crafted file.

Software Description:
- libvorbis: The Vorbis General Audio Compression Codec

Details:

It was discovered that libvorbis did not correctly handle certain malformed
ogg files. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted ogg file
