    <p>
    xine-lib is the core library package for the xine media player, and
    other players such as Amarok, Codeine/Dragon Player and Kaffeine.
    </p>

  <description>
    <p>
    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in xine-lib:
    </p>
    <ul>
    <li>
    Alin Rad Pop of Secunia reported an array indexing vulnerability in the
    sdpplin_parse() function in the file input/libreal/sdpplin.c when
    processing streams from RTSP servers that contain a large "streamid"
    SDP parameter (CVE-2008-0073).
    </li>
    <li>
    Luigi Auriemma reported multiple integer overflows that result in
    heap-based buffer overflows when processing ".FLV", ".MOV" ".RM",
    ".MVE", ".MKV", and ".CAK" files (CVE-2008-1482).
    </li>
    <li>
    Guido Landi reported a stack-based buffer overflow in the
    demux_nsf_send_chunk() function when handling titles within NES Music
    (.NSF) files (CVE-2008-1878).
    </li>
    </ul>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could entice a user to play a specially crafted video
    file or stream with a player using xine-lib, potentially resulting in
    the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running
    the player.
    </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-1.1.13"</code>
  </resolution>
