dear security team,

CVE-2008-2009 does not affect the etch or lenny versions of vorbis;
however, there were additional sanity checks added to the unstable
packages (bug #482039) to hopefully prevent future attacks similar to
the ones in this CVE.

should this issue be treated as unimportant and as a candidate for an
spu/ospu?  or should it just be treated as unimportant?

thanks,
mike
