Background ========== xine-lib is the core library of xine, a multimedia player. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 media-libs/xine-lib < 1.1.2-r2 >= 1.1.2-r2 Description =========== 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.
