Description:
    Previous versions of the xine-lib package were vulnerable to a buffer 
overflow which could be exploited to execute arbitrary code on the target 
machine. This can be exploited by a remote user only in a locally-assisted 
fashion - by enticing the user to open a specially crafted file.
