    <p>
    A possible buffer overflow has been reported in the Real Media input
    plugin.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by enticing a user into
    loading a specially crafted stream with xine or an application using
    xine-lib. This can lead to a Denial of Service and possibly the
    execution of arbitrary code with the rights of the user running the
    application.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All xine-lib users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-libs/xine-lib-1.1.2-r3"</code>
