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.

John says that this needs to be fixed so that it will compile with nptl
threads/gcc4.

Comment 2 John (J5) Palmieri 2005-04-26 17:02:11 EDT

The fix is in, I tested it and it is built in Rawhide
