Bug Description

http://www.trapkit.de/advisories/TKADV2008-013.txt

Affected Software: VLC media player < 0.9.8a
Remotely Exploitable: Yes
Locally Exploitable: No
Vendor Status: Vendor has released an updated version

For Ibex there seems to be an updated .deb (https://bugs.launchpad.net/getdeb.net/+bug/304123) although I don't know what getdeb is. Anyway, older releases like Hardy are still vulnerable.

lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1
Release: 8.04
