Description Johannes Segitz 2016-02-01 09:02:30 UTC 
CVE-2015-8792

The KaxInternalBlock::ReadData function in libMatroska before 1.4.4 allows
context-dependent attackers to obtain sensitive information from process heap
memory via crafted EBML lacing, which triggers an invalid memory access.

Comment 1 Stefan Seyfried 2016-02-01 09:15:07 UTC 
I have stepped down from maintaining libebml, libmatroska and mkvtoolnix in 2009:
http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-packaging/2009-08/msg00172.html

I know nothing about those packages, the only thing I can do is drop them and replace them with an empty package to make sure the vulnerability is solved by uninstalling them.
