Enon writes "eEye Digital Security and US-CERT has discovered 14 vulnerabilities in the FLAC file format that affect a huge range of media players on every supported Operating System (yes Windows, Mac OS, Linux, Unix, BSD, Solaris, and even some hardware players are vulnerable). These vulnerabilities could allow a malicious hacker or even (DUN DUN DUN) the RIAA to trojanize FLAC files that could compromise your computer if they are played on a vulnerable media player.
