Hi,
the following CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) ids were
published for libav.

CVE-2011-3892[0]:
| Double free vulnerability in the Theora decoder in Google Chrome
| before 15.0.874.120 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of
| service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted
| stream.

CVE-2011-3893[1]:
| Google Chrome before 15.0.874.120 does not properly implement the MKV
| and Vorbis media handlers, which allows remote attackers to cause a
| denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via unspecified vectors.

CVE-2011-3895[2]:
| Heap-based buffer overflow in the Vorbis decoder in Google Chrome
| before 15.0.874.120 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of
| service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted
| stream.

If you fix the vulnerabilities please also make sure to include the
CVE ids in your changelog entry.

This issues also very likely affect ffmpeg in squeeze and before,
but I haven't checked that.
