Multiple Vulnerabilities In FLAC

Isn't the article about security, not fidelity. Who is going to bother trying to hack FLAC files? Hackers go after the big users like Microsoft programs and maybe Itunes.

the risk is if you aren't locally processing your collection from CD's to FLAC.

The risk is if you download FLAC files off the internet they could be loaded with an extra virus payload.

So in otherwords it is not relevant to people on this forum, except to update to the newer libFLAC version 1.2.1 which will help with some of these...

Thanks Ikarus for posting that detailed link!

Thanks for the clarification, guys!
I agree that most people aren't going to bother hacking FLAC files. Anyone willing to deal with the bandwidth associated with such large files aren't doing it for the sake of distributing viruses, but for the sake of distributing high quality music!
