+ <p>
+ xine-lib contains a bug where it is possible to overflow the vcd://
+ input source identifier management buffer through carefully crafted
+ playlists.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ An attacker may construct a carefully-crafted playlist file which will
+ cause xine-lib to execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the
+ user. In order to conform with the generic naming standards of most
+ Unix-like systems, playlists can have extensions other than .asx (the
+ standard xine playlist format), and made to look like another file
+ (MP3, AVI, or MPEG for example). If an attacker crafts a playlist with
+ a valid header, they can insert a VCD playlist line that can cause a
+ buffer overflow and possible shellcode execution.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time. All users are encouraged to
+ upgrade to the latest available version of xine-lib.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All xine-lib users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge sync
+
+ # emerge -pv &quot;&gt;=media-libs/xine-lib-1_rc5-r3&quot;
+ # emerge &quot;&gt;=media-libs/xine-lib-1_rc5-r3&quot;</code>
