Description Forgotten User w3Bgdl3BEE 2016-01-17 17:53:38 UTC
Hello there,
When starting update I get the following message from update centre:
===
This update is needed to fix a security vulnerability with this package. This update for libebml, libmatroska fixes the following security issues: Vulnerabilities fixed in libebml:

    Cisco TALOS-CAN-0036: Invalid memory access when reading from a UTF-8 string resulted in a heap information leak (bsc#961031).
    Cisco TALOS-CAN-0037: Deeply nested elements with infinite size use-after-free and multiple free (bsc#961031).
    Invalid mempry access resulted in heap information leak 

Vulnerabilities fixed in libmatroska:

    invalid memory access when reading specially crafted data lead to a heap information leak. 

For more information about bugs fixed by this update please visit this website:

    ​https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=961031. 

=== 
Then, when trying to update, I have:

vlc-noX-2.2.1-195.1.x86_64 requires libmatroska.so.6(V_1.4.1)(64bit), but this requirement cannot be provided

VLC people say that this is package problem:

 Sounds like a packaging problem. Please file a bug to your distribution /
 package maintainer.

Pls check.
Thanks in advance.

Tell VLC people to rebuild VLC against the released updates.

Not fixed in VLC repo, fixed elsewhere:

rpm -q --requires -p http://download.videolan.org/pub/vlc/SuSE/Leap_42.1/x86_64/vlc-noX-2.2.1-195.1.x86_64.rpm | grep libmatroska
warning: http://download.videolan.org/pub/vlc/SuSE/Leap_42.1/x86_64/vlc-noX-2.2.1-195.1.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID c8da93d2: NOKEY
libmatroska.so.6()(64bit)
libmatroska.so.6(V_1.4.1)(64bit)

It's their package build. Ask them to rebuild against openSUSE:Leap:42.1:Update
