Description Josh Bressers 2005-04-19 20:50:33 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #153931 +++

We have been informed of a buffer overflow issue in the version of HelixPlayer
we ship.  A malicious RAM file can overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code
on a victims machine.
Comment 1 Josh Bressers 2005-04-19 20:52:35 UTC 
There's no update on the Helix site for this, and I see nothing the the Helix
CVS to patch this, we're just screwed for now until we have something to update
the packages.
Comment 2 Josh Bressers 2005-04-19 21:50:09 UTC 
Updated helix source is here:

Comment 3 Jay Turner 2005-04-20 08:40:39 UTC 
Fix confirmed with HelixPlayer-1.0.4-1.1.EL4.2.  Moving to PROD_READY.
