xine-lib: Heap-based buffer overflow

xine-lib: Heap-based buffer overflow xine-lib is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow. xine-lib 2007-04-14 2007-04-14 170208 remote 1.1.4-r2 1.1.4-r2

xine-lib is the core library package for the xine media player.

xine-lib does not check boundaries on data being read into buffers from DMO video files in code that is shared with MPlayer (DMO_VideoDecoder.c).

An attacker could entice a user to play a specially crafted DMO video file with a player using xine-lib, potentially resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the player.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All xine-lib users on the x86 platform should upgrade to the latest version:


    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/xine-lib-1.1.4-r2"
