we need a CVE-ID for a buffer overflow in libcdaudio.
It is a remotely exploitable heap-based buffer overflow.

Additionally, if you are shipping libcdaudio, you may be interested in
patch for CVE-2005-0706 used by Gentoo:

http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/media-libs/libcdaudio/files/libcdaudio-0.99-CAN-2005-0706.patch

According to the libcdaudio home page, upstream seems to be aware of
this issue, as they acknowledge having security issues and even link to
old Gentoo GLSA.

Our package contains this patch. Thanks for the references.
