<define-tag description>LTS security update</define-tag>
<define-tag moreinfo>
<p>Two security-related issues were fixed in libebml, a library for accessing the
EBML format:</p>

<ul>

<li><a href="https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2015-8790">CVE-2015-8790</a>

    <p>The EbmlUnicodeString::UpdateFromUTF8 function in libEBML before 1.3.3
    allows context-dependent attackers to obtain sensitive information from
    process heap memory via a crafted UTF-8 string, which triggers an invalid
    memory access.</p></li>

<li><a href="https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2015-8791">CVE-2015-8791</a>

    <p>The EbmlElement::ReadCodedSizeValue function in libEBML before 1.3.3 allows
    context-dependent attackers to obtain sensitive information from process
    heap memory via a crafted length value in an EBML id, which triggers an
    invalid memory access.</p></li>

</ul>

<p>For Debian 6 <q>squeeze</q>, these issues have been fixed in libebml version
0.7.7-3.1+deb6u1. We recommend you to upgrade your libebml packages.</p>
