Synopsis
The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates.Description
An updated flac package to correct a security issue is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5.This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.
FLAC is a Free Lossless Audio Codec. The flac package consists of a FLAC encoder and decoder in library form, a program to encode and decode FLAC files, a metadata editor for FLAC files and input plugins for various music players.
