Download Amarok 1.4.10

The Amarok program is a popular audio player for KDE and has extensive possibilities to, among other things, create (dynamic) playlists, search for song lyrics on the internet and adjust MP3 tags without any obstacles. In addition, Amarok can play stream from a kio source and supports various backends such as xine, NMM and MAS. The developers have patched the possible vulnerability and released Amarok 1.4.10. The corresponding announcement looks like this:

News from the “Unscheduled releases”-department: This morning we got news about a possible security issue with local, untrusted users that has now, just a few hours later, been fixed. For more information about it see Secunia Advisory #SA31418. Thanks to Google Alerts for notifying us about this vulnerability.

We encourage all users of Amarok 1.4.x, especially if you are using the integrated Magnatune service, to upgrade as soon as possible.

Meanwhile many team members are at Akademy to discuss new developments and work to get closer to Amarok 2.0. Have a look at the blogs to see what’s happening. And maybe we’re gonna see you in a week at FrOSCon in St Augustin, Germany?
