Version 1.1.4:
This release contains improvements and important bugfixes. Some issues that have really "bugged" us for quite some time (like NTSC DVDs audio sync, broken since 1.1.2, and H.264 crashes) are finally fixed. Some of the new features include True Audio and WavPack support.
Version 1.1.3:
This release contains important bug and security fixes, all users are recommended to upgrade.
Security fixes:
- Heap overflow in libmms (related to CVE-2006-2200)
- Buffer overrun in Real Media input plugin. [bug #1603458] Thanks to Roland Kay for reporting and JW for the patch.
Version 1.1.2:
This release contains several improvements over 1.1.1. Xv support works with the modular X.org, x86_64 support has been improved, and ffmpeg has been updated agan (to version 51.1.0). The DVB plugin now supports ATSC, and RealPlayer 10 is supported. There's also a new post-plugin for those who like adding noise...
There are three security fixes:
- CVE-2005-4048: possible buffer overflow in libavcodec (crafted PNGs);
- CVE-2006-2802: possible buffer overflow in the HTTP plugin;
