Description Huzaifa S. Sidhpurwala 2012-02-09 01:32:15 EST
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures assigned an identifier CVE-2011-3960 to
the following vulnerability:

Name: CVE-2011-3960
URL: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2011-3960
Assigned: 20111001
Reference: CONFIRM:http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=108416
Reference: CONFIRM:http://googlechromereleases.blogspot.com/2012/02/stable-channel-update.html

Google Chrome before 17.0.963.46 does not properly decode audio data,
which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service
(out-of-bounds read) via unspecified vectors.

The above commits are not actually specific to the chrome security flaw fix. The guarding which has been added to prevent the overflow is already present in libvorbis.
Comment 3 Huzaifa S. Sidhpurwala 2012-02-09 02:33:13 EST
Statement:

Not vulnerable. This issue did not affect the versions of libvorbis as shipped
with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, 5, and 6.
Comment 4 Huzaifa S. Sidhpurwala 2012-02-09 02:33:54 EST
This issue does not affect the version of libvorbis as shipped with Fedora 15 and Fedora 16

Just to clarify the above comment, the flaw does not affect libvorbis, because the relevant vulnerable code segment is not present in libvorbis.
