DVL included Mplayer Buffer Overflow Vulnerability (CVE-2007-2948 and SAID 24302)

A stack overflow was found and reported by Stefan Cornelius of Secunia Research in the code used to handle cddb queries. Two other similar issues were found by Reimar Döffinger while fixing the issue.

Adding vulnerabilities can be so easy… just sit and wait :)

Bug fixing for the next release of Damn Vulnerable Linux

Seems that the next release of Damn Vulnerable Linux will focus on two topics: (1) bug fixing and (2) adding more training material. Unfortunatly community is lazy by contributing tutorials.

At the moment I have encountered some minor bugs (e.g. menu items open a console but console closes immediatly) and some other bugs (SNORT is not running and makes trouble with the standard MySQL installation / .lock files).

More about the bugs during the next time, I will add the defects at the bug tracker.
