Same AAC issue as the first part of CVE-2008-4610 looks like debian fixed this by building xine-lib with the system faad, which is in universe for us... Tester is lol-vlc.aac. Doesn't crash intrepid. xine 1.1.15 updated built-in libfaad to get rid of crashers Not sure what to do for older versions...
