  * SECURITY UPDATE: (LP: #207284)
   + debian/patches/031_CVE-2008-1489.diff
    - Integer overflow in the MP4_ReadBox_rdrf function in libmp4.c allows
      remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly
      execute arbitrary code via a crafted MP4 RDRF box that triggers a
      heap-based buffer overflow.
