This is mainly a tracker bug, since I (the reporter) am also the maintainer. The subject says most, a security vulnerability in dumb has been found and catagories as CVE-2006-3668.
Description from CVE: Heap-based buffer overflow in the it_read_envelope function in Dynamic Universal Music Bibliotheque (DUMB) 0.9.3 and earlier, and current CVS as of 20060716, allows user-complicit attackers to execute arbitrary code via a ".it" (Impulse Tracker) file with an enveloper with a large number of nodes.
Description from DSA: Luigi Auriemma discovered that DUMB, a tracker music library, performs insufficient sanitising of values parsed from IT music files, which might lead to a buffer overflow and execution of arbitrary code if manipulated files are read.
Debian has a fix, I'm currently test building a new version with this fix.
Guys,
The fix for this is building as I type, but I cannot find any documentation on writing up the advisory. From memory there was a template somewhere which I should fill, after which I should send it to a certain address (the official announce list I believe), where it would get verified by a human and then send to the official announce list.
Can someone please document the procedure for getting an (FE) advisory out the door. This would seem like a good place to put this: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Security
Thanks & Regards,
Hans

I think this is just about all we have at the moment for FE announcements, but nobody has used it yet apart from initial tests: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-security-list/2006-June/msg00058.html
I've reserved FEDORA-EXTRAS-2006-003 for this issue. Could you fill the attached template?
