[Bug 1350356] Re: vlc 2.1.5 is released, software upgrade is needed

 

Hi,

The vulnerability CVE 2014-3466 in GNUTLS has *not* been fixed in Trusty
(at time of writing the current stable release).  It's been fixed in
libgnutls26, but not in libgnutls28 (which is what VLC actually uses) -
see:

Cheers,
Dr Owain Kenway
