Source: libvpx
Version: 1.3.0-2.1
Severity: grave
Tags: security patch
Justification: user security hole

Hi,

an out of bound write vulnerability in libvpx has been fixed in a recent Mozilla
advisory [1], and a patch is also provided [2].

Can you prepare an update for unstable and push it asap?

Also, I'm unsure if the vulnerability affects stable, so it might be
worth checking there too (and coordinate with us for an upload).

If you fix the vulnerability, please add the CVE reference
(CVE-2014-1578) to the changelog.
