Hi,
I am currently investigating the latest vlc security issues 
for Debian.
About CVE-2007-4619, in the NEWS file you say this is for 
Windows and Mac OS Binaries. Does this vulnerability only 
affect these two systems?

For VideoLAN-SA-0703:
 VLCPlugin::~VLCPlugin()
 {
+    /*
+    ** bump refcount to avoid recursive release from
+    ** following interfaces when releasing this interface
+    */
+    AddRef();
+

Is this the only change needed to fix this?

Patches welcome ;)
Kind regards
Nico
