than 2.0.7 and is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities:

  - The web interface contains a flaw that does not validate
    input passed via XML services resulting in a cross-site
    scripting vulnerability.

  - A flaw exists in the XML services of the web interface
    that may allow a remote attacker to execute media player
    commands.

  - A flaw exists that could lead to a denial of service / 
    memory consumption when loading a malicious playlist.");
