xine-lib: Buffer overflow

xine-lib: Buffer overflow A buffer overflow has been found in the libmms library shipped with xine-lib, potentially resulting in the execution of arbitrary code. xine-lib 2006-07-20 2006-07-20 139319 remote 1.1.2-r2 1.1.2-r2

xine-lib is the core library of xine, a multimedia player.

There is a stack based overflow in the libmms library included with xine-lib which can be triggered by malicious use of the send_command, string_utf16, get_data and get_media_packet functions.

A remote attacker could design a malicious media file that would trigger the overflow, potentially resulting in the execution of arbitrary code.

There is no known workaround at this time.

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


    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/xine-lib-1.1.2-r2"
