Hi Hanno,
* Hanno Böck <hanno () hboeck de> [2008-03-28 00:26]:
Sam Hovecar has created zzuf more than a year ago and posted a bunch of 
samples crashing various multimedia and other apps:

I've done some re-testing about a year later:
http://hboeck.de/archives/578-How-long-does-it-take-to-fix-a-crash-bug.html

Some are still unfixed, I recently opened some upstream bug reports:
[...] 
Since a crash itself in a non-service appliction is not necessary
a security issue I think we should check them in detail 
before assigning CVE ids for them (does not mean they are 
non-issues though).

Kind regards
Nico
