Ulf Härnhammar from the Debian Security Audit Project discovered that streamripper, a utility to record online radio-streams, performs insufficient sanitising of data received from the streaming server, which might lead to buffer overflows and the execution of arbitrary code. For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 1.61.7-1sarge1. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 1.61.25-2. We recommend that you upgrade your streamripper package.
