Mandriva: Updated libvorbis packages fix vulnerabilities

LinuxSecurity.com: Will Drewry of the Google Security Team reported several vulnerabilities in how libvorbis processed audio data. An attacker could create a carefuly crafted OGG audio file in such a way that it would cause an application linked to libvorbis to crash or possibly execute arbitray code when opened (CVE-2008-1419, CVE-2008-1420, CVE-2008-1423).
